Project details

Start date

February 2026

End date

June 2026

Location

Mount Wellington Highway / Ryburn Road – Mount Wellington

Transport involved

Walking, driving and cycling

Overview

We’re proposing changes at the Mount Wellington Highway and Ryburn Road intersection to improve visibility and make it safer for people turning in and out of Ryburn Road.

Public feedback raised concerns about parked vehicles blocking the view of oncoming traffic, especially during busy times.

To help fix this issue, we’re proposing to install no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) on the corner of the intersection and remove 6 parking spaces on Mount Wellington Highway.

These changes will:

  • improve sightlines
  • reduce the chance of near misses
  • make movements at the intersection safer and more predictable.

Project benefits

Better visibility

Removing parking improves sightlines so drivers can see oncoming traffic more clearly.

Safer turns

Drivers will find it easier and safer to enter and exit Ryburn Road.

Reduced near misses

Improved visibility helps reduce the chance of crashes or near misses.

Minimal impact on legal parking

Parking near corners and intersections is restricted under the New Zealand Road Code.

Project background

We received public concerns about poor visibility caused by parked vehicles.

This makes it difficult for people turning in or out of Ryburn Road.

Broken yellow lines will help improve sightlines.
