The Golden Foot Walking Awards celebrate and recognise New Zealand achievements for walkers by acknowledging innovative new facilities, highlighting national best practice and rewarding ongoing commitment to walking and pedestrians.
Media Release 4 March 2015
Get out on your feet next Wednesday 11 March Walk2Work Day to celebrate the universal method of getting around and one we do every day – walking, and its natural partner the bus or train.
LSA President Tim Jones talked to Stuff about pedestrian safety this weekend. There have been five pedestrians killed in motor vehicle crashes so far this year.
From the article: "Tim Jones, president of walking advocacy group Living Streets Aotearoa, said every pedestrian death was a tragedy.
He said vehicle speed was the generally the biggest factor for pedestrian injuries and death: A person was four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured if hit by a car travelling at 50kph compared to 30kph."
The final Government Policy Statement on Land Transport 2024 has now been released.
The Government has released its draft Setting of Speed Limits Rule, which rolls back many of the changes made under the previous Government that were designed to make our roads safer for everyone by reducing vehicle speeds.
