Road safety
Auckland Transport is working in partnership with national agencies to improve road safety and reduce the number of people killed or injured on our roads.
Child safety in cars
Using a correctly-fitted and -sized child restraint will reduce your child’s risk of injury or death in the event of a crash.
Young drivers
Auckland Transport is committed to reducing the number of crashes involving young drivers.
Speeding
Speed is the single biggest road safety issue in NZ today. The faster you drive on the road, the more likely you are to crash.
Road safety around schools
Increased driver awareness of the presence of children around schools helps reduce the risk of accidents.
Improving road safety
Our engineers work with the community to investigate ways to improve safety and promote transport options.
