Ramsgate Terrace, Mairangi Bay - Raised Pedestrian Crossing Ramsgate Terrace, Mairangi Bay - Raised Pedestrian Crossing

Proposal status: Feedback closed 9 July 2021

Reference number: CSFB1.1

Proposal update 

We advised you in September 2021 that these works were scheduled to be constructed before June 2022.  

This project now has a construction start date of May/June 2022. 


Proposal outcome

In June 2021, Hibiscus and Bays Local Board and Auckland Transport proposed to upgrade the existing speed table on Ramsgate Terrace to a raised pedestrian crossing. This project responds to community concerns for safety and aims to provide a safe crossing point, slow driving speeds and increase awareness of people crossing at this location. After reviewing all the feedback, we are proceeding with the work as proposed. These works will help support our Vision Zero goal.  

What happens next

We anticipate the changes will be constructed before June 2022. We will be in touch with local residents and businesses prior to any construction taking place.

Community feedback

Thank you for helping us make better decisions for your neighbourhood, informed by your local knowledge.  

The majority of feedback we received from the community was in support of this proposal. Respondents noted that improvements were needed at this location in order for people to safely cross the road. Many people expressed concerns around the high travelling speeds of vehicles along Ramsgate Terrace and shared their concerns around the safety of the current crossing at this location. Overall, the feedback we received demonstrated that the community supported the proposed changes and felt they were worthwhile in order to improve the safety of people walking in Ramsgate Terrace, especially children and families walking to and from school, and people visiting the nearby supermarket and sporting grounds. 

A summary of community questions and concerns and our responses to these are below.  


We're proposing improvements in your area

We have received concerns from the community about safety on Ramsgate Terrace. Hibiscus and Bays Local Board and Auckland Transport are proposing to upgrade the existing speed table on Ramsgate Terrace to a raised pedestrian crossing. 

The changes we are proposing: 

  • Upgrade the existing speed table to a raised pedestrian crossing. 
  • Extend the broken yellow lines (no stopping at all times) to the east of the crossing. This will remove 6 car parking spaces. 
  • Paint new road markings and install signs to support the crossing. 
  • Install tactile pavers which are yellow guidance paving markers to help visually impaired people find their way to the crossing and safely cross the road. 
  • Widen and reconstruct the footpath at either side of the crossing.

These changes will provide a safe crossing point and aim to slow driving speeds and increase awareness of people crossing at this location. Removing some on-street parking is necessary to support these changes by ensuring that parked cars do not block the view of the crossing and pedestrians. We understand that removing parking can be inconvenient, so we have minimised the removal.
