Intersections - Living Streets Aotearoa - Policy May 2014
Traffic lights – No Green Cross light and Green traffic light (for turning traffic) should be on in the same direction. Start Green Cross light before vehicle's green light (at least 5 seconds).
Countdown walk signals to inform pedestrians of time left to cross
At all intersections pedestrians should be able to cross using all 4 sides.
Living Streets Aotearoa is excited to be part of Road Safety week. There are many distractions when using a road. Pedestrians, drivers and cyclists need to forget the ipod, cellphone and concentrate on the road. If we look out for each other we can ensure everyone gets to where they are going safely. I See You is better than I.C.U. Lets decrease the toll of trauma and death on our roads and make them Living Streets.
We are meeting for the day in Mt Victoria to chat about Living Streets Aotearoa strategy.
If you are in the area please join in the dissuccion as all ideas are welcome. Email us to get the address and time.
Get to gether with your neighbours and go for a walk.

In a bid to get drivers to slow down, 30 school buses in mid-Canterbury have been fitted with illuminated flashing 20km/h signs - the legal speed limit when passing a stationary school bus.
The active signs were launched in Ashburton this week as part of a national trial that aims to get motorists to slow down when passing a school bus that’s stopped to let children on or off.
Living Streets Aotearoa is the New Zealand organisation for people on foot, promoting walking-friendly communities. We are a nationwide organisation with local branches and affiliates throughout New Zealand.
We want more people walking and enjoying public spaces be they young or old, fast or slow, whether walking, sitting, commuting, shopping, between appointments, or out on the streets for exercise, for leisure or for pleasure.
