A new report commissioned by rail safety charity TrackSAFE has found that almost half of New Zealanders admit to walking on railway tracks without using a legal crossing.

Forty-five per cent of those surveyed by AK Research said they had walked on or across railway tracks without using a designated railway level crossing, which is considered trespassing.

There has been unprecedented feedback following my article last week “Systemic failure killed Johnathon Walters” which explored a needless death of a roadworker by an unroadworthy truck. And rightly so, this issue strikes at the heart of safety and compliance in our industry.

The NRC Board convened a special session this week to review the feedback and discuss what NRC as industry leaders are doing to get this litany of system failures addressed.

It has been a big fortnight for transport funding announcements. A week on from Minister Bishop’s update about the transition to universal RUC, NZTA announced its tolling proposal for Canterbury’s new Belfast to Pegasus Motorway and Woodend Bypass (B2P).

B2P is one of the Government’s Roads of National Significance (RoNS), providing a 10km four-lane motorway extension north of Christchurch, and a bypass that reduces the heavy traffic burden on SH1 through Woodend.

In a significant strategic move set to reshape New Zealand's logistics landscape, Mainstream New Zealand has officially announced its acquisition of the transport, containers, and logistics operations of PBT. This merger brings together two of the nation's most respected, homegrown freight operators, combining over 50 years of market presence and expertise to strengthen the national supply chain.

Cabinet has agreed to a series of important legislative changes to enable the transition of New Zealand’s 3.5 million light vehicles to paying for our roading network through electronic road user charges, rather than petrol tax, says Transport Minister Chris Bishop.

“The abolition of petrol tax, and the move towards all vehicles (whether they be petrol, diesel, electric or hybrid) paying for roads based on distance and weight, is the biggest change to how we fund our roading network in 50 years,” Mr Bishop says.

Lots of people, especially those like me, who have lived most of their life in the greater Wellington area had plenty to smile about with Transport Minister Chris Bishop’s announcement about the new Ōtaki to north of Levin highway (O2NL). NZTA has signed construction contracts with two alliances to build this Road of National Significance and construction will get underway this spring.

Last week, a transport company director pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges following the death of roadworker Johnathon Walters, who was run over by an unroadworthy truck in May 2024.

The NZ Herald has covered the tragedy in detail (Craig Kapitan – READ STORY), so we won’t go further into the specifics here. But one fact must be clear:

This was a death that never should have happened.
