The Land Transport Division has adopted as a road safety measure, the policy that all crossroad intersections should be provided with suitable forms of traffic control. The Division’s objective is that there will be no uncontrolled crossroads remaining in New Zealand by 1 January 1993. This policy has been published as Road and Traffic Standards Information No. 9 (see Appendix 1). Expected savings are more than 800 injury and fatal accidents over a five year period, when implementation of the policy is completed. The purpose of these Guidelines is to provide practical information about the traffic management methods available for the assessment of road networks with respect to installation of appropriate crossroad controls. Road Controlling Authorities are now requested to arrange the implementation of the policy stated above and assist the monitoring of results by annual completion of the reporting form included in Appendix 1.
