RoadSafe Auckland member organisations and ARTA have determined key issues by focusing on factors that represent a combination of high actual numbers (e.g. alcohol and speed crash factors; crashes at intersections, on bends and with roadside hazards, and pedestrian deaths) and high-risk issues (e.g. vulnerable road users, and at-risk communities).

The two leading causes of death on Auckland’s roads continue to be speed-related and alcohol-related crashes, while significant numbers of people are killed or injured as pedestrians, and at intersections. Bends and roadside objects are contributing factors in a high proportion of crashes resulting in injury and death.
