People Friendly City Streets

Background

ViaStrada in collaboration with Waka Kotahi and the Active Modes Infrastructure Group (AMIG) are involved in the development of industry guidance for road environments that safely and effectively accommodate people who choose active modes for transport. This means that ViaStrada staff are at the forefront of creating safer outcomes for all road users.

Let's Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) engaged ViaStrada to help achieve their projects focussing on 'better walking, cycling and bus journeys' with ViaStrada providing ‘cycling accessibility and safety audits’ plus 'road safety audits' of various intersections and corridors throughout the city.
