To improve visibility and pedestrian safety outside the school, we’re planning to introduce time restrictions on a few parking spaces during busy drop‑off and pick‑up times. This will make it easier for motorists to see parents and their tamariki approaching the crossing.
The changes we're making in October 2026:
- Introduce “No Stopping Restrictions” from 8:30-9:30am and 2:30-3:30pm,
Monday to Friday on the eastern side of 295 McKean Avenue - To clear access and improve visibility, we need to reallocate road space and
remove approximately 2 parking spaces during the scheduled restriction
times - Outside the pick-up and drop-off times, people can park for longer periods.

Project benefits
Improves driver awareness
Keeping the area around the crossing clear helps drivers see people who want to cross sooner, so they can slow down and react safely.
Improves safety for pedestrians
The changes improve visibility at the crossing, making it easier for drivers to see
pedestrians waiting to cross. This is particularly important during busy school
drop-off and pick-up times.
Improved safety with minimal impact
Parking restrictions will apply only during school peak times. Outside these hours, on-street parking will stay the same, helping improve safety.
