On average, 1 person is killed every day on New Zealand roads and another 7 are seriously injured. Deaths or serious injuries should not be an inevitable cost of travelling. Northland roads are challenging and unforgiving.
The need to reduce the severity and frequency of crashes is the driving force behind the Road to Zero Strategy 2020-2030 and the Road to Zero Action Plan 2020-2022.
