Transit NZ has released another amended version of the NZ Supplement to Austroads Part 14 (edition June 2008), following the recent update in April. And there has since been yet another update in September 2008.

Well done to Transit NZ for keeping this guideline up to date, and issuing updates in such quick succession. For links to the Supplement itself, please refer to the main article.

ViaStrada looked after the sale of side thrust gauges on behalf of the IPENZ Transportation Group. The TG group had 50 units custom manufactured but, as of 2015, they decided to not commission another run.

All of the 50 specially-manufactured units have been sold. If you have any queries, please direct them to the chair of the Transportation Group.

Land Transport NZ has released the Pedestrian Planning and Design Guide. Well done to the guide's project manager and editor, Tim Hughes for another NZ guideline of the highest quality.

ViaStrada will have seven participants in “Le Race” at the end of March. It’s a 100 km ride from Christchurch to Akaroa and there are some genuine hills on the way!
