35 Hill Street, Warkworth – Raised Zebra Crossing 35 Hill Street, Warkworth – Raised Zebra Crossing

Proposal status: Feedback open until 31 March

Reference number: 20100543

We're proposing improvements in your area

Aucklanders have told us that moving around our city safely and easily is important to them. We are proposing some improvements to your area.

The Rodney Local Board has received requests from the community to improve pedestrian safety on Hill Street in Warkworth. They have asked AT to upgrade the zebra crossing outside Warkworth Primary School.

On their behalf, we are proposing to raise the existing zebra crossing at 35 Hill Street, Warkworth.

We are proposing to:

  • Upgrade the existing zebra crossing at 35 Hill Street in Warkworth to a raised zebra crossing.
  • Rebuild the footpath near the raised crossing and install tactile pavers at the crossing point. These are yellow guidance paving markers to help visually impaired people find their way to crossings and safely across roads.
  • Install 4 new side islands which narrow the road and reduces the crossing distance for pedestrians.
  • Install new pram crossings at the crossing point. These are gentle, sloped ramps from the footpath to the road. They will provide a smooth transition from the footpath to the raised crossing.
  • Rebuild part of the driveway of 36 Hill Street to support the proposed changes.
  • Install new signage and paint new road markings to support the proposed changes.

These proposed changes will:

  • Encourage drivers to slow down and travel at a safer speed which improves safety for everyone. Slower speeds help reduce the likelihood of serious injuries or death in the event of an accident.
  • Improve visibility between drivers and pedestrians crossing the road or are waiting to cross.
  • The gentle slope from the footpath to the raised crossing will make crossing at this location more comfortable for everyone, especially people with prams and wheelchairs.
