OnTheMove, a free, customisable travel information service launched by the 6296 New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is designed to provide travellers with email alerts prior to their journey, about road and driving conditions, incidents and road works on New Zealand’s state highways.

NZTA Regional Traffic Operations Manager Kathryn Musgrave says the new service is a customer-friendly way for road users to check road conditions before they travel on our state highways.

OnTheMove can be accessed from any PC or smart device that receives emails, but the NZTA is reminding subscribers to make safety their top priority and avoid the risks of being distracted behind the wheel.

OnTheMove will send alerts about major events that may disrupt state highway traffic or require caution, based on the routes/regions and time periods users have selected. Minor incidents and general traffic congestion won’t be sent out as alerts. Some weeks subscribers may not receive any alerts and others week, particularly in winter, they may receive a lot.

“It’s all about helping our customers make smarter travel choices when planning trips on New Zealand state highways. OnTheMove will be useful for road users heading away on long trips including during holidays, as well as for commuters and commercial drivers who travel on state highways every day,” says Ms Musgrave.

    According to road safety engineer Alan Vass of the Traffic and Road Safety section of Ayrshire Roads Alliance in Scotland, LED road studs have contributed to a 100 per cent reduction in incidents on a stretch of the A719 road in the county. Vass says the active studs, which use LED and solar technology to create delineation shown to be far more effective than traditional retro-reflective studs, could hold the key to a brighter future. He said: “There had been a number of accidents on the A719 near Wat
