Principles for transport and movement
a. Accessible movement systems for a diversity of pedestrian, cycle, public transport and private transport modes will be provided, with good connections between different modes of transport.
b. An accessible movement system will be achieved by:
maintaining the national and arterial road systems
supporting efficient and sustainable pedestrian, bicycle and public transport systems that reduce car dependency
maintaining movement around the city for a diversity of pedestrian, cycle, public transport and private transport modes
providing streets that foster a connected and pedestrian‑friendly environment
reducing the barriers created by major roads to make it easier for people to access the public spaces of the city, particularly in the Central National Area.
