Today we remember the thirty New Zealanders killed while out walking in the last 12 months, to mark the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. The theme this year ‘Its time to remember – say no to road crime’.
Pedestrian deaths make up 10% of the 287 people who have lost their lives on New Zealand roads in the last 12 months, with Waikato, Auckland and Canterbury the most deadly places to be on the road.
