Vector Lights on the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge shines yellow for Road Safety Week. Everyone can be a Road Safety Hero! Road Safety Week 2026 recognises everyone who is working to make our roads safer and support people following crashes - from emergency services to health professionals, transport engineers to school crossing patrols, road workers to community campaigners.
