Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency consulted on proposals to:
- * allow children aged 12 years and under to ride bikes on footpaths
- * set a minimum passing gap for when vehicles pass other road users
- * allow people to ride e-scooters in cycle lanes
- * require drivers to give way to buses leaving bus stops
- * clarify signage requirements for enforcing berm parking restrictions.
This consultation was unusual for the phenomenon of mainly supporting the proposals. See the submission prepared by the NTCF Travel Friendly and Submissions groups here: 2026-03-25 Travel Friendly and NTCF submission NZTA WK Land Use Improvements
