Hauraki Road, Leigh – Raised Zebra Crossing Hauraki Road, Leigh – Raised Zebra Crossing

Proposal status: Closed

Reference number: 20100538

Project update

In May 2023, we invited community feedback on our proposal to build a raised zebra crossing outside the Leigh General Store and near Leigh School. We have investigated further and have decided not to proceed with the proposed works.

We're proposing improvements in your area

Auckland Transport and Rodney Local Board are proposing to build a raised zebra crossing outside the Leigh General Store.

  • The crossing would be raised to be level with the footpath and have traffic islands at the crossing points to shorten the crossing distance.
  • We have minimised the removal of parking as much as possible. 3 parking spaces would need to be removed to create a safe crossing.

We want to work with you to deliver a safe crossing facility in your neighbourhood. These changes would:

  • Slow motorists to a safer speed.
  • Raise pedestrians, especially children, crossing the road to be at eye-level of approaching motorists, making them easier to see from a distance.
  • Make it easier for motorists to see people waiting to cross the road.
  • Make it more comfortable for people with prams and wheelchairs to cross the road as the crossing is level with the footpath.
  • Improve walking connections to the nearby school, shops, and skate park.

What happens next

  • We’ll consider all the feedback we receive, and then decide the best way to move forward.
  • We’ll post the outcome of this proposal and a summary of community feedback on this webpage.
  • We can email you the proposal outcome as soon as it’s ready – just select that option when you fill in the survey.

Leigh: Safe with us

This project supports Tāmaki Makaurau’s commitment to  Vision Zero, an ambitious transport safety vision, with the goal of no deaths or serious injuries on our transport system by 2050. This approach acknowledges that as people we all make mistakes, however a mistake should not mean someone dies or is seriously injured on our roads. It’s also an approach that values everyone using the road, not just those in vehicles.
