Road safety is an important issue for our region, The social, economic
and environmental costs of unsafe road behaviour and activities have a
considerable impact within our community.

The 1995 National Road Safety Plan encourages the Regional Council, in
conjunction with the Land Transport Safety Authority, the New Zealand
Police Wellington Metro District and the Wellington Regional Road Safety
Co-ordination Group, to participate in a planning process aimed at
improving regional road safety. The Wellington Regional Road Safety
Strategy is a product of this planning process. It also supports the
Wellington Regional Land Transport Strategy by providing more detailed
and focused road safety planning directions.

This strategy identifies key road safety themes and targets, and provides
goals, policies and performance measures designed to aid organisations
in addressing road safety.
