Karen Fehl attended the Australasian Road Safety Conference in Christchurch this week, where the “Decepta” – a vehicle built in a lab by Waka Kotahi for the promotion of the vehicle safety rating system as part of the road safety campaign – is on display. Karen says, “while fun to sit in, in real life it makes a confronting prop. The car has featured in a number of television ads and there have been several poignant points made at this conference. The campaign provides plenty to take away and put into practice.”

You can see public reaction to the vehicle below:

We are very pleased to announce that Tim Crow has joined our team as a consulting engineer. He comes to us from six and a half years at Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency. He says, “I feel extremely fortunate for the opportunities I’ve had at Waka Kotahi. In particular the positive impact on communities the projects I’ve been involved in has had.” Tim worked on the Kaikoura Earthquake Recovery, where literal mountains were moved to reconnect the community, to the Speed and Infrastructure Programme, where he is proud to say there are now 160 fewer deaths or serious injuries per year on our transport system, and that reduction is expected to grow. At Resolve he will continue to work with clients to achieve better outcomes for communities.

Please contact him if you want:
– an independent design review
– safety by design facilitator
– road safety auditing
– Project/Programme Management support

or just wish to discuss a challenge you may be facing.
