August 2004 edition
Road safety is a community issue. The Christchurch Road Safety Strategy encourages practical community solutions with lasting effects.
Implementation of this strategy will result in the development of a road safety culture where the community recognises the social and economic cost of road crashes and there is a willingness to accept road safety as a high priority both personally and politically.
The Christchurch Road Safety Strategy is a living document to be used by the Christchurch community to increase safety in the land transport system in Christchurch City.
