Raised Safety Platforms (RSPs) help manage motor vehicle approach speeds on the approach to intersections. They are specifically designed for motorist comfort when travelling at an appropriate speed and may also serve as a pedestrian crossing facility. As a road safety device, they prevent deaths and serious injuries by achieving negotiation speeds at a survivable level. In case a road user makes a mistake (e.g. violating a red light), others won’t have to pay with their life.

Helen Woodhouse was with ViaStrada from October 2007 to May 2021. And during that long period, her work profile changed completely, from an office administrator to an information designer. 

Thanks for your lengthy and valuable service. Everyone has enjoyed working with you, your sense of humour, and your contributions to the team.

What an inspiring conference in Auckland! The theme for the 2021 Transportation Conference is 'Decarbonising Transport'. ViaStrada has contributed two papers, which have both been presented as posters.

A poster presentation and peer-reviewed paper on Cycling Network Guidance updates gives an overview of amendments to the CNG that have been published since January 2020.

We are looking back on a few exhilarating days! The 2WALKandCYCLE Conference last week made sure that walking and cycling becomes everyone’s business. Lots of familiar faces and some new connections. Really interesting conversations, great insights, and a good collection of best practice examples. Once again, we concluded it is all about people and creating safe and supportive environments.

ViaStrada contributed to the programme in several ways.
