Walking, driving and busOverview
Everyone deserves to be safe on Auckland roads.
To help improve safety on Linwood Road we are proposing three changes - a 50km/h speed limit through Karaka Village and intersection speed zones at two busy turning locations to the east and west of the village.
Growth in this area has increased traffic volumes along Linwood Road which connects Papakura to Karaka Village and areas in the west, including Kingseat, Waiau Pa and Clarks Beach.
Many farmers, rural residents and families use this road to do work and get places. The speed limit is 80km/h.
A new bus route 379 for the area will operate along Linwood Road, through Karaka Village, from 19 April.
The proposed changes aim to improve safety in Karaka Village by introducing a speed limit consistent with other urban areas in Auckland.
At the two busy intersections safety will be improved by temporarily reducing traffic speeds when a vehicle is waiting to turn from the side road.
