Abstract
New Zealand’s Land Transport Safety Authority has released results of its 2004 survey of public attitudes on road safety. The survey, conducted annually since 1974, measures public attitudes on drinking and driving, speeding, police enforcement, and roadway design. Among the survey’s findings, seventy-seven percent of those surveyed agreed that enforcing the speed limit helps to lower the roadway injuries. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they believe speed cameras are operated fairly, and 56% said they would support the use of hidden cameras, while 28% opposed the idea, and 16% were neutral.
