Interventions
Two areas of Auckland have been randomised into an intervention and control area. The project statistician used a computer random number generator to select the intervention area. The other area was d

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Changes in walking and cycling, measured by a longitudinal random sample face-to-face survey of residents which includes a 1-week travel diary (baseline 2014; 2017; 2019) 2. Traffic speeds and volumes, measured by tube counters (2014, 2017, 2019) 3. Changes in physical activity, measured by a 7-day pedometer protocol in random sample survey participants, and by IPAQ questionnaire in the survey (2014, 2017, 2019) 4. Road traffic injury, measured objectively using hospitalisation and national crash analysis system (cas) data, and self-reported in the survey (2010-2014 and 2017-2021) 5. Neighbourhood perceptions, measured by validated survey questions (2014, 2017, 2019) 6. Greenhouse gas emissions, modelled from survey travel data (2014, 2017, 2019) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Road user behaviour, measured by video monitoring (2014, 2017, 2019) 2. Air quality, measured by stationary NO2 monitoring (2014, 2019) 3. Perceptions of walking and cycling, measured by in-depth qualitative interviews and focus groups (2014, 2018) 4. Researcher assessed changes in safety and security, measured with validated street audit tool (2014, 2019) 5. Diabetes risk, measured with a retrospective anonymised dataset of HbA1c tests taken from residents in the study areas before and after the intervention | — |
