Auckland Transport │ Have Your Say Until 24 September │ Safer Streets Are Coming to Mt Eden Road (South)

Auckland Transport is planning key safety upgrades for Mt Eden Road (South), including improvements at the intersections with Landscape Road and Duke Street. These changes aim to reduce crashes, improve pedestrian safety, and enhance travel for everyone—whether you're walking, driving, or taking public transport.

What Auckland Transport is Proposing

New Traffic Signals at Landscape Road and Mt Eden Road
• Clearer right-of-way for drivers
• Safer, signalised pedestrian crossings
• Signals activated only when pedestrians are waiting to cross

Improved Safety at Duke Street
• Tighter intersection layout to slow turning vehicles
• Easier, safer pedestrian crossings

Smart Safety Features Near the Bend on Duke Street
• Anti-skid road surfacing
• Electronic speed feedback signs
• Smart studs to highlight zebra crossings

These upgrades are designed to calm traffic and create a safer, more people-friendly environment along Mt Eden Road.

Why This Work Is Needed
These intersections have a history of crashes, often caused by unclear right-of-way and unsafe pedestrian crossings. As part of the High-Risk Intersections Programme, these proposed changes will address those issues and improve safety for the community.

Benefits and Impacts
• Fewer crashes and safer driving conditions
• Easier crossings for pedestrians of all ages
• Calmer traffic and better visibility near bends
• A more welcoming street environment for walking to school, local shops, parks, or bus stops

What Auckland Transport Wants Your Feedback On
Your input will help shape the final design and ensure it reflects the needs of the Mt Eden community.

Tell Auckland Transport:
• How you use the area
• What changes matter most to you
• Any ideas or concerns you'd like to share
Together, we can make Mt Eden Road safer and more accessible for everyone.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
