Road traffic calming measures at pedestrian crossings

Margaret Howley made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

Currently waiting for a response from New Zealand Police, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Margaret Howley

Dear New Zealand Police,
I am writing to ask if the NZ Police have an official policy on City Councils use of speed platforms or humps as traffic calming measures. Whether you approve of these traffic calming measures or find them a hindrance to timely arrival at the scene of an incident. Do the other Emergency Services hold your view.
When speaking with council, mainly councillors, about road saftey improvement it is often mentioned that the Emergency services do not support their use. I ask simply as I seek fact as a basis to work with council on community issues, also if you do not support the use of these then the community would in all probably seek other ways to make the roading in our area for the elderly and children

Yours faithfully,
Margaret Howley.
