Is Road to Zero another Kiwibuild?

Newshub reports:

Government agencies are admitting having difficulty in their attempts to make roads safer, with officials last year advising ministers a target to reduce deaths and serious injuries by 40 percent over a decade was unrealistic.

The road toll has soared this year and is on par with 2018, the worst year for road deaths in recent memory.

Road to Zero is another triumph of spin over substance. Instead of putting up median barriers, they do press releases. They are building median barriers at 13% of the rate they promised.

The road toll was 318 when they launched their strategy. So far this year it is at 361.
