"I think it's an issue for discussion with the New Zealand community. What do you think about what's being proposed, what do you think about the measures being taken to reduce death and serious injury, or are you not interested in whether people are killed or not?"
"It could be you, it could be your family, it could be your friends, but the fact of the matter is, the level of death is not coming down."

With this holiday's awful road death toll the New Government quietly abandons the Road to Zero campaign... Keep safe out on the roads. Especially with the wild weather.

PSA: Traffic light cameras.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency are taking over the monitoring of red-light cameras, and the issuing of infringements for traffic control offences at crossings and junctions, as well as other safety cameras and vehicles. They have also noted that traffic control cameras at junctions and crossings can now monitor the speed of vehicles moving through the junction or crossing #RoadToZero #DriverSafety #RedLightCamera #SafetyCamera #Infringement

"A person has died on the footpath after a vehicle was driven into them in Glendale Rd, Glen Eden."
This is the 35th pedestrian killed by a car this year in NZ.
Pedestrian and cyclist deaths now represent 16% of road deaths, but are less than 5% of trips.
We need to do more now, to protect our most vulnerable road users.
