The Share the Road Campaign

Share the Road is run by the Cycling Action Network (CAN) under contract with New Zealand Transport Agency. CAN has run workshops for commercial drivers, police and for cyclists for almost a decade.

Our stakeholders from the trucking, bus and cycling communities give us vital support.

Our core safety messages

For Drivers

  • Driving behind a cyclist? Leave plenty of space
  • Cyclists ride further out from the kerb and parked cars because it’s safer
  • When you pass a cyclist, leave a buffer of space between you

For Cyclists

  • Keep control of your bike and the situation
  • Ride to be seen and to be predictable
  • Choose safe routes

The best way to understand these core messages is to check out our short videos:
