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

We are a new support group for seniors. We meet once a month to share our experience and discuss our challenges & concerns.
With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
