Auckland Transport Safer Communities Program for Mt Roskill Pedestrian Safety

As part of the Safer Communities Programme, AT is looking to provide safety improvements to various locations in Auckland. The focus is on improving pedestrian amenities, including pedestrian crossing facilities. In the Mt Roskill area, Carr Road and Frost Road have been identified as requiring significant improvements.

The aim of the project is to improve safety for pedestrians and help ensure walking is a desirable option for people. 80% of all road deaths and serious injuries occur on 50km/h local urban roads. Nearly half of those deaths and injuries involve vulnerable road users � children, the elderly, people walking and people on bikes or motorcycles.

AT is committed to making the roads safer for vulnerable users and these changes will help improve safety for the many pedestrians including school children walking these routes.

Project This Safer Communities program is aligned with Auckland Transport�s AMP 2018, the Road Safety PBC and the RLTP 2018-28 and contributes to the Transport Agency�s Investment Assessment Framework, which is intended to give effect to the Government Policy Statement, and contributes to the objectives of the Land Transport Management Act (LTMA) by addressing: � Safety � a safe transport system free of death and serious injury: ?

Addresses a high predicted walking or cycling safety risk; and ? Addresses a high perceived safety risk to use of the mode. � Access to opportunities, enables transport choice and access, and is resilient � liveable cities: ? Supports increasing the uptake of children using walking and cycling especially to and from school.

The improvements proposed include: Carr Road: � Widening of existing footpath on both sides of Carr Road; � Provide vertical separation between proposed footpath and adjacent properties; � Tightening and/or removal of existing vehicle crossings, with judder bars across all vehicle crossings; � Raised zebra crossings; � Pedestrian refuge crossing; � Swedish-style speed tables at the Carr Road / Frost Road roundabout; � Realignment of the Carr Road / Frost Road roundabout approaches.

Frost Road: � Shared path; � Speed table; � Raised zebra crossings; � Combined cyclist/pedestrian raised zebra crossing; � Temporary planter boxes; � Minor Kerb Realignment of roundabout approaches Delivery time Mt Roskill Safer Communities � Carr Road and Frost Road completion is proposed for the end of the 2019/20 financial year.
