The Auckland Regional Council has the resources necessary to meet this demand. The A.R.C. tracks inspected appeared to be relatively low use and physically suitable for dual-use. They have minimal hazard potential. Track Preparation - Adequate drainage and prevention of skidding should be your two highest priorities when preparing your tracks. Regular water bars and some grading is required on moderate to steep slopes.
Adequate signage is important for all users.
Maximum voluntary compliance will be achieved with clear, positive signs. A number of steps on a walking track visible from the road end or intersection will discourage most riders. Strategically placed speed control devices may be necessary on high use tracks. Education - Education of all users is crucial. It is the only realistic way of combating social conflict and is an effective tool for reducing safety hazards and physical impacts caused by poor riding techniques.
