Background

PNCC engaged ViaStrada to undertake scheme & detail design stage and post-construction road safety audits of a number of roundabout upgrades at city intersections. All projects required the preparation of a road safety audit report in accordance with the NZTA Road Safety Audit Procedures for Projects (May 2013). Post-construction audits included a day and night time site visit. The safety of all road users and pedestrians were key considerations.

Roundabouts reviewed included:

  • Cook/Church
  • Roberts/Mihaere/Fernleaf
  • Russell/Featherston
  • Ferguson/Albert
  • Airport/Railway
  • Ruahine/Ferguson
  • College/Victoria
