Walking advocates are calling for lower traffic speeds as the most effective way of improving road safety.
The call follows the death of former Air Accident Inspector Ron Chippindale who was struck by a car this morning.
Director of Living Streets Aotearoa, Liz Thomas, says “While we don’t know the exact circumstances of this tragic accident, we know that lowering traffic speeds reduces the frequency and severity of accidents.”
“The message is simple: down with speed for safer roads.”
