Walking, driving and cyclingOverview
We are proposing the following safety upgrades at the Victoria Street and Grey Street intersection:
- a new fully mountable roundabout to help slow traffic and support safer crossing and turning movements from Grey Street
- new refuge crossing facilities for all approaches to the intersection
- improved street lighting so the crossings and roundabout are easier to see, especially at night
- wider footpaths, realigned kerbs and berms, and updated road markings and signs to support the new layout
- new broken yellow lines (no stopping at all times) to support the roundabout layout.
Parking restrictions
To improve safety and visibility at the intersection, broken yellow lines will be installed to clearly identify where vehicles must not stop or park.
Under the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, vehicles must not stop, stand or park within an intersection or within 6 metres of an intersection, unless parking is specifically authorised by signs or markings. This restriction applies even where broken yellow lines are not currently present. The new markings will make the restriction clearer and support parking compliance.
Impact on parking
Overall, the changes will affect kerbside space equivalent to approximately 23 vehicles. However, our parking survey found that only 9 of these spaces are regularly used. The remaining areas are either not regularly used or include areas where parking is already prohibited because of closeness to the intersection.
Therefore, the practical impact is expected to be the removal of approximately 9 regularly used roadside parking spaces. Parking will continue to be available outside the marked no-stopping areas.
These 9 parking spaces to be removed are:
- 2 spaces outside 117 to 121 Victoria Street
- 2 spaces outside 112B Victoria Street
- 1 space outside 133 Grey Street
- 1 space on Grey Street outside 117 Victoria Street
- 3 spaces outside 126 Grey Street.

Project background
The Victoria Street and Grey Street intersection has been identified for improvement following ongoing safety concerns raised by the local community.
Since 2018, AT has received at least 6 requests from the community for safety improvements at this intersection. We have also received similar feedback from the community as part of the recent engagement for the Alfred Street and Grey Street roundabout project.
Between 2021 and 2025, 8 crashes were recorded here, including 4 minor‑injury crashes.
All crashes involved drivers crossing or turning from Grey Street who failed to give way to through traffic on Victoria Street.
A further 2 crashes recorded in 2026 (data until May 2026), one non‑injury crash and one minor‑injury crash, show the same crash pattern.
Our goal is to make this area safer, more convenient, and better connected for everyone who lives, works, studies, or visits nearby.
Previous community feedback
We would like to thank the community for sharing feedback on the Victoria Street and Grey Street Intersection as part of the recent Victoria Street, Onehunga Road safety improvement project.
The community has indicated its support for a roundabout at the intersection.
After considering the feedback, Auckland Transport will proceed with upgrading the intersection to a roundabout layout.
