Services

ViaStrada offers a wide range of services to the transport industry. We work with local and national clients to solve design problems involving intersections (including those with traffic signals and roundabouts) and corridors (including speed management), through concept design, safety audits and peer review.

We’ve worked on both sides of the Tasman to offer advice on transportation engineering design manuals, intersection standards and guidelines. We’re involved in transport policy and research, making us well placed to develop strategies and policy documents for local and national government.

As well as planning and designing specifically for cycling and walking (including school/workplace travel planning) and public transportation, we contribute to the development and delivery of industry training, so that knowledge can be shared across the industry.
