Dean delivers road safety message
Asafe road journey begins with
good communication.
Hurunui road safety coordinator
Dean Eades is
dedicating time to interacting
with those who use the roads in
the district.
Dean, who has recently taken
up the role, is working with the
police, New Zealand Transport
Agency, the Road Transport
Association, ACC, neighbouring
councils, and community
groups.
‘‘It’s about working together to
continually create safer roading
environments throughout our
district,’’ he says.
Acommunity­led road safety
project, 1600K: Getting There
Together, is one of the focuses of
Dean’s work.
Part of this project is the
interactive map that the council
uses as atool to stay familiar
with community experiences on
the networks.
Snap Send Solve is another
interactive connection between
the council and the community
which Dean is reminding people
about.
Residents can either
download the Snap Send Solve
app on to their smartphone or
use the web page in their
browser to capture and report
issues with roads or roading
infrastructure.
‘‘If you see aproblem, you
snap it and then send it off to
council. We solve it, and get
back to you with an update. He
urges people to use it as much as
possible to report potholes,

damaged bridge ends, or
anything else.
‘‘We love to hear about them,
so we can fix them and make our
roads as safe as possible.’’
Dean says the key to safer
roads is communication and it
works both ways —the council
and its agencies providing
messages, improvements and
support, and the community
providing feedback and local
knowledge.
‘‘I’m looking forward to the
opportunity to see that what we
do as council, in co­operation
with our agencies, to ultimately
create areally positive outcome
on both our State Highways and
our regional roads, where
everyone can share it safely and
happily.’’
Dean has afew tips for
ensuring asafe and happy
