From mid-May, we'll be installing:
- a zebra crossing on Bassett Road with speed cushions on the approaches
- a raised signalised pedestrian crossing on Brighton Road
- high skid resistance-surfacing on two legs of the roundabout.
The change to an at-grade zebra crossing (on Bassett Road) was made after a workshop with the Orakei Local Board in December 2025.
This project is part of Auckland Transport's High-Risk Intersection Programme. This programme prioritises safety interventions at high-risk intersections in Auckland.
Between 2019 and 2023, 14 crashes were recorded at this roundabout, including three serious injury crashes, six minor injury crashes, and five non-injury crashes. All serious injuries have occurred since 2022, and the intersection is currently ranked as the 23rd most high-risk intersection in Auckland.
