Road Safety Week moves into gear next week.
Co-ordinated by road safety charity Brake and sponsored by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and Beca, Road Safety Week involves hundreds of communities, schools and organisations.
The theme is ''Be a road safety hero''.
It aims to recognise people who are working to make our roads safer and also those who care for people after a crash - from emergency services workers to road designers and engineers, road workers to school crossing patrols and walking school bus volunteers, health professionals to community campaigners.
During the week, schools, community groups and organisations will also be calling on everyone to be road safety heroes and play their part in making journeys safer.

The road rule Kiwis can't seem to follow – and why it matters
If you've driven anywhere in New Zealand with more than one lane, chances are you've come across the notorious right-lane hog. The driver who sticks in the right lane, going just below the speed limit, unaware or indifferent to the queues of frustrated motorists forming behind them. It's annoying, it's common — and while technically illegal, it's become one of the most flouted road rules in the country. Under New Zealand law, drivers must keep left unless they're overtaking. It's written into the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 and failing to do so could set you back $150 fine and 20 demerit points, according to the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA). "There are no plans currently to review this infringement penalty," an NZTA spokesperson said. NZTA regularly pushes "keep left" messages on its Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages, racking up more than 9 million views in the past two years, but it seems many motorists continue to miss the memo. Police do issue infringements for failing to keep left, but it's not a high-priority offence, says Inspector Peter McKennie, acting director of road policing. "Police do take enforcement action for failing to keep left in some circumstances, but not to the same extent as high-risk behaviours, such as speed, impairment by alcohol, drugs or fatigue, being distracted while driving and not using seat belts or child restraints," he told 1News. There were practical considerations, McKennie said, such as drivers preparing for exits or intersections and giving room for cyclists or road workers. But even if you're going the speed limit and feel justified in staying put, drivers "need to consider keeping the way clear for emergency service vehicles". Hogging the right lane can have indirect safety impacts such as risky under-taking manoeuvres or frustrated drivers taking chances they shouldn't. "Police encourage courteous driving behaviours," he said. "Be patient and wait until the situation changes and it is safe to pass. Recognise that going a few kilometres per hour slower for a relatively short distance won't make a meaningful difference to your journey time." The AA wants to see a shift in mindset around the keep left rule, especially as New Zealand builds more multi-lane highways. AA road safety spokesperson Dylan Thomsen said the right lane should be treated as a passing lane. "Sticking to the left lane means people can easily pass slower travelling vehicles in the right, promoting efficient traffic flow," he said. "After overtaking, drivers should return to the left lane as soon as it is safe." He said passing on the right was a "more efficient manoeuvre", while passing on the left was "significantly more dangerous". "It involves driving through a larger blind spot for the vehicle you are passing on the right, which is also likely to move directly into your lane at some point." Travelling in the right lane unnecessarily showed a "lack of awareness" for other road users wanting to pass, Thomsen said. "It's important that new drivers are taught to see correct lane use not only as a legal requirement, but as part of cooperative and considerate driving behaviour." Thomsen said AA Member surveys have consistently found that slower vehicles holding up traffic is one of the top frustrations for drivers alongside red light running and texting behind the wheel. "With more multi-lane highways starting to be built in New Zealand, it is certainly an area that could have more of a focus for educating and reminding drivers to share the road well." So next time you're cruising in the right lane, ask yourself: Are you overtaking — or just in the way?

SH83 Otematata To Aviemore – Plan Ahead For Upcoming Closures
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is urging drivers to plan ahead for an upcoming three-day closure of SH83 between the Otematata River Bridge and Aviemore Dam Road. This section of SH83 will be closed from 8am Tuesday 3 June through until 5pm Friday 6 June, to allow contractors to replace a culvert east of Parsons Rock Campground. The detour route during the closure for easttbound traffic will be via Loch Laird Rd, Benmore Dam Rd, Te Akatarawa Rd and Aviemore Dam Road, with the reverse for westbound traffic. Residents will maintain access via either Aviemore Dam Road or the Otematata end of the closure. There will be no access through the worksite. NZTA is advising commercial vehicle operators that the detour route during this closure is only suitable for some High Productivity Motor Vehicle (HPMV) Higher Mass permitted vehicles. The detour will be able to be used by: HPMV 50max-approved vehicles. HPMV Higher Mass permitted vehicles - approved for vehicles loaded to 48 tonnes on 8 axles, or loaded to 54 tonnes on 9 axles only (excludes 7 & 10 axle vehicles). Overweight vehicles will require separate permits from Waitaki and Waimate District Councils, otherwise plan your journey accordingly. Operators of over-dimension vehicles should check the detour route for suitability before travelling. Using Scoop for work? Scoop is free for personal use, but you'll need a licence for work use.

Technology ‘creep' concerns over congestion charging cameras
'As a result, a policy tool that the public should have confidence in will instead become another instrument of tracking and surveilling them. The council strongly opposes the system of mass surveillance which the Government intends to create as a side effect of implementing the bill.' ANPR was virtually unheard of a decade ago, but is now being used about 700,000 times by police a year through two private systems set up to combat retail crime. NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is also introducing ANPR cameras to measure average speed on highways. A privacy impact assessment for the agency noted: 'Considering the Privacy Act's wide definition of personal information, it will be very difficult to argue that the information collected through camera surveillance in a public place, involving the use of people's motor vehicles, is not personal information.' The congestion charging scheme aimed to cut transport costs, estimated to hit $2.6 billion in Auckland next year. Other cities might later jump on board the scheme. Councils through Local Government NZ generally back the bill, but have called for more local control, and less control defaulting to NZTA, over what roads and what fees are covered and at what periods. A congestion charging system would link its ANPR cameras with the NZTA's motor vehicle registry. The Privacy Foundation said the way ANPR was already being used trampled over privacy laws, and technology 'creep' – where a system approved to do one thing turned out useful for another – was a real danger. 'We are concerned about the proliferation of automated surveillance throughout the private and public sectors in New Zealand, especially its potential use by law enforcement authorities as a back door mechanism,' it said in its submission. 'The bill contains the potential for a significant erosion of the fundamental rights of New Zealanders.' The way ANPR systems can retain and match vehicle data can allow analysis of patterns of movement and behaviour by AI systems, international studies said. Police said they had strict controls around how they used ANPR, although there was limited external oversight. Police were on the verge of completing their first full audit in a decade of their use of a large ANPR retail crime network, underpinned by technology from Auckland firm Auror. Researchers who interviewed focus groups in Auckland and Wellington about ANPR found 'significant' concerns. 'Concerns were raised regarding the duration of data retention by the systems, potential security breaches and the over-collection of data,' they wrote in a 2024 journal. 'They advocated for clear regulations to protect against unwarranted police access to traffic data. They suggested that police should be required to obtain a court order or other official permission to access the data.' Documents showed police demand for ANPR footage related to retail crime had skyrocketed so high, they now had push-button access to it. The Council for Civil Liberties said 'data minimisation should be the highest priority' around congestion charging schemes, but instead the data could be spread to 'any local authorities that are specified in an order in council'. It advocated copying controls from a scheme in Stockholm that ordered no sharing, as well as fast deletion of data. It noted how Singapore went from promising traffic camera data would be off-limits for certain purposes, to saying in 2016 that the security situation had changed so they needed to let officials access it 'to collect and analyse suspicious travel patterns, and respond swiftly and decisively for our collective security'. Local Government New Zealand said it was past time for the schemes 'as a means to improve productivity and make better use of our infrastructure'. Its submission did not mention privacy protection. Lobby group the NZ Initiative said privacy provisions in the bill seemed reasonable, but 'we encourage the [select] committee to consider international best practice for protection of privacy'. Images ANPR can capture: The number plate that leads to identifying registered owner of the vehicle. Meta data that includes time, date and location and direction of travel. Still photos and video footage of a vehicle that captures an aspect of the driver and/or passenger that may identify that person Images of occupants in sufficient detail to enable a count. Images that identify the behaviour of people in the vehicle. -RNZ
