We're proposing improvements in your area

We are proposing to improve pedestrian safety in Henderson by upgrading the pedestrian crossing facilities on the slip lanes of Lincoln Road and Te Pai Place.

We are proposing to:

  • Upgrade the slip lane crossings of Lincoln Road and Te Pai Place intersection to raised zebra crossings. The crossings will be raised to the same level as the footpath.
  • Install tactile pavers at the approach of the crossings. Tactile pavers are yellow guidance paving markers that help visually impaired people find their way to the crossings.
  • Install Belisha beacons or orange-coloured discs, at the approach to the crossings for additional visibility at night.
  • Install advance warning signage to inform drivers about crossings
