Auckland Regional Council release Draft Regional Road Safety Plan for comment

The draft regional road safety plan just approved by the Auckland Regional Council and released for comment proposes a range of strategies to further reduce the Auckland region’s road toll to around 50 by 2006.

Auckland Regional Councillor Catherine Harland, Chairwoman of the Passenger Transport Committee says, “Road safety agencies in the Auckland region are adopting a long-term ‘vision zero’ approach to road safety which seeks to eliminate road deaths and minimise serious injuries through improvements in road design and coordinated education and enforcement efforts.”
