The road network is central to New Zealand's transport system. It is crucial to the performance of our economy, communities and our way of life. The road network on average carries 70 percent of New Zealand's freight movements and 84 percent of journeys to work.
Increasing road transport's contribution to economic activity through investment, particularly in Roads of National Significance, remains vital for the government to achieve its goals of growing the economy and increasing the safety of the road system. Vital to maximising road transport's contribution to productivity will be improving national and urban networks, an efficient fleet, enhanced logistics, improved linkages between roads and other modes, and efficient public transport operations.
