respondents were asked: “How concerned are you about safety on Taranaki’s local roads (not
including state highways)?”. Among those who responded there was a trend to being either concerned or
very concerned about safety on local roads as shown in Table 20 below.

than can be detected.
The confidence in the trend direction is assessed following the credible interval assessment method of
McBride (2019). The confidence in the reported trend direction (ranging from 50% to 100%) is categorised
based on the categories in Table 4.
