Give Way Rule Change
Planning is underway for an intensive public information campaign for changes to two give way rules that will come in on the 25 March 2012.
The campaign will be run in the month leading up to the date of the actual change on 25 March 2012, with national advertising starting ten days before the change. This late February start date is necessary to avoid public confusion and minimise the risk of people starting to use the new rules too early. This thinking is based on best practice when Victoria, Australia changed a similar rule in 1993.
NZTA Safer Cycling Programme
The Cycling Advocates' Network (CAN) and BikeNZ are working with the New Zealand Transport Agency on three new projects over the next 18 months, aimed at creating a safer environment for cycling.
Networking Project complete today
Today marks the completion of the Networking Project. Please take a moment to reflect on the mission we set ourselves in 2006 and how far we have come.
Have we:
- strengthened the capacity of national and local cyclist user groups to participate effectively in transport-focused planning and decision making processes?
- expanded and strengthened CAN?
