#Roads & Transport
Target:
Auckland Council
Region:
New Zealand

We, the residents of Whenuapai respectfully petition the danger of our local pedestrian crossing and we ask that Auckland Transport considers modifications to improve safety for our community. Presently traffic does not keep to the speed limit and many cars refuse to stop and give way to pedestrians.

This has been an ongoing issue for many years, but with the enormous increase in traffic, since the opening of the state highway 16 extension, traffic to the North Shore through Whenuapai has increased massively. And with traffic involved in the new subdivisions using this crossing is extremely dangerous.

The close proximity to Whenuapai Primary School makes the danger even greater as there are large numbers of children using the crossing.

Something needs to be done to ensure that cars slow down and stop for pedestrians. Speed humps perhaps.

We urge you to investigate and remedy this issue before somebody is harmed.
