Why the changes are needed

These changes are needed to improve pedestrian safety by slowing traffic. Currently the relatively large radius of these bends allows for cars to speed through this pedestrian crossing.

This proposal is part of our Road Safety programme that aims to improve safety in all of Auckland.
