Learn moreThis whitepaper explores the option of increasing the use of temporary road closures in New Zealand, advocating for their strategic implementation to enhance road safety and operational efficiency.
The paper underscores a 'safety first' approach aligned with New Zealand's vision of zero road fatalities and serious injuries. Using relevant Downer case studies, the paper argues that well-planned road closures can mitigate risks to road workers and the public, while improving productivity.
Through the paper we present evidence that road closures can minimise conflicts with the public, expedite emergency responses, and offer cost-saving efficiencies. Importantly, it also outlines how closures facilitate more collaborative, risk-assessed planning.
This compelling read offers insights not only for policy-makers and contractors but also for the public, inviting a more informed debate on road management strategies.
