Road safety

Our role in road safety

Waikato Regional Council provides leadership in road safety, ensuring that all activities across the region are effectively coordinated and the best safety outcomes are achieved for the regional community. 

We oversee the development and implementation of the region's guiding policies, and also have a specific role to play in road user education on the regional transport network.

Waikato Regional Road Safety Education Group

The Waikato Regional Road Safety Education Group is a cross-agency collective that has been formed to promote road safety education throughout the Waikato region, from the Bombay Hills in the north to the Desert Road in the south. 

The group is led by Waikato Regional Council in partnership with the NZ Transport Agency, ACC, the NZ Police and local authorities.
