Road Safety to 2010 Strategy

The Ministry of Transport, as part of the National Road Safety Committee, has launched Safer Journeys, a road safety strategy to take us through to 2020. This replaces the road safety to 2010 strategy.  

  
Road Safety to 2010 provided a direction for road safety in New Zealand and described the results the government wanted to achieve by 2010.

It set out:

• the government's balanced approach to road safety using initiatives built around the three Es - Engineering, Education and Enforcement
• the first stage of initiatives (to 2004)
• the coordination, funding and other mechanisms that would be involved in implementing the strategy
• the priority areas that would be a focus for the government's road safety activity up to 2010.

Road safety to 2010 was an important component in achieving the New Zealand Transport Strategy goal of an affordable, integrated, safe, responsive and sustainable transport system.
