Improving safety near Te Pai Place and Universal Drive

We’ll be installing ‘no stopping off roadway’ (no parking on berms) signs along Te Pai Place and Universal Drive. To see where this restriction will apply, download the design drawing.

Why this is important

Vehicles parked on the grass berm make it hard to see people and street signs at intersections.

Parking on berms is a danger to people on foot. The cars block them from view, meaning they can’t be seen crossing roads or walking.

It makes it harder for:

• drivers to see when they’re backing out of driveways 
• people who live here to get to their properties. 

Parking on the berm can damage underground utilities and the grass, especially in wet weather.

The signs will tell drivers not to park on the grass berms. They will also warn that these areas will be subject to parking enforcement.

We remind all drivers to park correctly and avoid blocking driveways. Vehicles parked illegally may get infringement notices or be towed away.
