Cycle network design guidance framework

About the framework

In direct response to, and in support of the Urban Cycleways Programme and the New Zealand Cycling Safety Panel’s report recommendations, the Transport Agency is leading a process in collaboration with local government to develop best practice guidance for nationally consistent cycle networks and facilities.
