It’s being looked at by NZTA. It might get more people cycling if councils can create off road cycleways with priority. Still need to design them well to minimise crash risk, especially for contra-flow riders. Otherwise the danger is that riders assume they have priority (and don’t check or slow) but crossing traffic still doesn’t stop/look.

Would changing this rule be a quick win for cycling? Are there any advantages to the current give-way rule?
