Land Transport New Zealand commissioned ViaStrada Ltd to undertake an international literature review of technologies for counting cycle traffic continuously (for several months or more) and to survey all local and regional councils and Transit New Zealand offices about their experience with various types of cycle traffic counting, including continuous, automatic and manual counts. The objective of the Cycle Counting in New Zealand Survey was to establish the extent to which road controlling authorities (RCAs) (ie local councils and Transit New Zealand offices) and regional councils were counting cycles. A variety of questions sought to establish whether these agencies were counting cycle traffic manually or automatically, amongst other things. A commercially available online survey package called Zoomerang was used. This was seen as an effective way to reach the agencies whose practices and views were sought, and to analyse the results.
