This edition of In Transit has articles on the following:

• Technical collaboration between Transit New Zealand and AUSTROADS (the Australian association of road transport and traffic authorities) including use of the AUSTROADS pavement guide
• Innovative new portable toilets to be trialled at rest areas north of Wellington
• The National Roading Programme is to replace the National Land Transport Programme in 1996 when the funding functions of Transit New Zealand are transferred to the new Transfund New Zealand
• Development of the Auckland Advanced Traffic Management System
• Tanzania studying road management in New Zealand.

It was noted that the launch of the National Roading Programme would see funding for all professional services at actual cost not 6.5% of the value of the capital work. It was also noted that roading authorities would need to prepare a five-year programme of capital works with indicative benefit/cost ratios of two or more, so that Transfund and the Ministry of Transport would have a better idea of revenue and expenditure projections.
