Description

The guide promotes a consistent ‘world’s best practice’ approach to planning, designing, operating and maintaining walking infrastructure and networks. It
supports the New Zealand Transport Strategy (NZTS) and the priorities for action in
Getting there – on foot, by cycle (the national walking and cycling strategy). In doing
so, it encourages walking as a viable mode of transport for short trips in and around
our communities, and recognises the important role walking also plays in many car
and public transport journeys. It is also a useful tool for those with an active interest
in walking, such as community leaders, local councillors and advocacy groups.
