Driving, cycling, bus and trainOverview
We are planning safety improvements on Alten Road in Auckland’s Central Business District. The plan is to make road safety improvements to benefit pedestrians and vehicles moving through the area.
This road is a busy one for vehicles heading down to the motorway and for pedestrians using the footpath. Many pedestrians are students either parking or residing nearby to attend university.
What we are proposing
Install a red SLOW road marking
High-friction surfacing on the road to improve skid resistance
Street lighting assessment and upgrades
Install a 30km/h repeater sign for downhill motorists
Repaint road lines and add reflective markers on the road bend
Why we're doing this
This plan is an interim road treatment to address crashes and near-misses happening on Alten Road. For motorists, the plan will help motorists move safely particularly around the bends, increase driver awareness and help prevent downhill loss-of-control crashes and identify where street lighting upgrades are needed.
