Takanini School Road, Takanini – Safety Improvements Takanini School Road, Takanini – Safety Improvements

Proposal status: Feedback open until 16 June 2023

Reference number: 20100674

We're proposing improvements in your area

We have heard the concerns raised by the local community about visibility issues due to parked vehicles (mostly large trucks), along Takanini School Road. In 2021, a fatal crash occurred in the area.

To improve safety for all road users in the area, we are proposing to:

  • Introduce parking restrictions (broken yellow lines) on some sections of Takanini School Road. This will result in removal of 16 car parking spaces (between driveways and adjacent to intersections) to improve visibility for motorists exiting driveways and side roads to see oncoming traffic. We understand that removing parking can be inconvenient, so we have minimised the removal as much as possible, while prioritising the safety of all road users.
  • Install new road markings that will better guide motorists along Takanini School Road and improve visibility when turning from Reding Street and Spartan Road onto Takanini School Road.
