2. Movement & Place The role of roads in our community
Harmony Day, One community, Celebrating it diverse make up and understanding how we can collectively bring our strengths to any challenge thrown our way.
True of our transport system. For it to truly work as one, we need to understand the diverse nature of each link across our network,
What the local context is
What is its place value to the community
Movement function that is caters for, is it a local road and Street, Vibrant Street, Movement Corridor or Motor way.
Describe the matrix. Working with key stakeholders, partners and community to define the movement and place functions of each part of our network

4. The challenges we need to meet
Population 8M by 2051
1,800 extra people per week
80% of pt services on road; 6-10% growth
Freight growing faster than population & economy
12% annual growth
With prosperity comes attraction. Population growth.
More goods moving around the network.
The challenge on the face of it looks quite great. But it only requires 1 in 20 of us to walk, cycle or use public transport on any given day and we will have school holiday traffic conditions everyday. 4

5. Better, Smarter, Greater
Movement & Place
Better, Smarter, Greater
Integrate transport & land use to reduce travel
Encourage more efficient & sustainable modes
Better manage existing roads
Information for better and smarter travel choices
Build new infrastructure to cater for growth
There is no single or simple solution to managing congestion. Sustainable management of congestion will require an integrated approach involving: better management of the existing network, building new infrastructure, visionary land use planning, encouraging sustainable transport modes, and changes in behaviour by individuals, business and all levels of government.
SmartRoads embodies four key strategies for effectively managing congestion:
Ensuring that land use planning, and the community objectives it embodies, is coordinated with transport management policies.
Supporting and encouraging higher occupancy and sustainable travel modes, such as trams, buses, cycling and walking in higher density activity centres through allocation of road space, traffic signal priority and information for road users to make smarter travel choices.
Making existing roads operate better by facilitating access and mobility for trucks on appropriate truck routes, better management of and response to incidents, more effective use of traffic signals and traffic lanes.
Targeting investment in new transport links, such as in growth areas, and ensuring that these links provide sustainable long-term capacity improvements. 5
