Campaign targets SH1 crashes
20.10.05 1.00pm
Road safety agencies today announced plans for a two-stage $4.5 million road safety campaign for State Highway 1 in the South Waikato and Taupo Districts.
All the major agencies with a stake in road safety will contribute -- Transit New Zealand, the police, Land Transport New Zealand, South Waikato and Taupo district councils, Environment Waikato and ACC.
The driver education component for Stage 1, entitled "Lose your confidence. Save your life!" began today.
The full Stage 1 campaign will be unveiled at launch events in Tokoroa on November 2 and in Turangi on November 3.
Stage 2 will be launched in 2006.
The full campaign will include:
* A major safety upgrade involving road signs, road markings and road surfacings, by Transit New Zealand;
* An increased enforcement and fatigue awareness campaign by the police;
* A high profile driver education campaign, with contributions from all agencies.
..
After analysing crash data on SH1 in the South Waikato and Taupo districts, the team will initially target three stretches of highway with the worst crash records.
They are Piarere (the SH29 Tauranga turnoff south of Cambridge) to Mangaiti Hill south of Tokoroa (54km), Taupo to Hatepe (19km), Motuoapa to Turangi (7km).
SWATT 2010 convener Alan Burkett said a Stage 2 campaign will follow next year targeting further stretches of SH1 in the South Waikato and Taupo districts.
