530 Weymouth Road and 17 Estuary Road, Weymouth – Weymouth Schools Safety Improvement 530 Weymouth Road and 17 Estuary Road, Weymouth – Weymouth Schools Safety Improvement
Proposal status: Feedback open until 4 October 2023
Reference number: SSM2122-016
We're proposing improvements in your area
Auckland Transport has identified the need to reduce speed in school zones to align with the Making Auckland Transport System Safe Scheme and our strategic goals. The School Speed Management Programme has been created to address these requirements, by means of delivering designs with suitable speed management treatments to reduce speed to 30km/h where appropriate and minimize risks to pedestrians and road users.
Listening to what you have to say is important to us. Your local knowledge can help us make better decisions, so together we can achieve the best outcomes for your neighbourhood.
We are proposing to:
- Install new raised zebra crossings at both these locations with
- new tactile pavers at the crossing. These are yellow guidance paving markers to help people find their way to crossings and safely across roads.
- paint new road markings and install signage
- add parking restrictions to ensure pedestrians have safe visibility at the crossing
- remove side islands to improve safety for cyclists

Auckland Transport cares for your safety. We want to make our roads safe for everyone, people walking and cycling, especially for our kids and senior citizens and people driving. Projects like this one around Weymouth are another step towards our goal of achieving no deaths or serious injuries on our roads. We are guided by the Vision Zero approach to transport safety, which prioritises human safety over other measures (like minor time saving).
