We've made changes at this busy St Albans intersection to resolve a safety issue.
We've made safety improvements at the intersection of Cranford Street (northbound) and McFaddens Road, following reports of a safety issue at the pedestrian crossing on Cranford Street. We were hearing from the community that drivers turning left out of McFaddens Road heading north sometimes failed to notice the red traffic signals while attempting to find a gap in traffic.
We worked alongside the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to consider several solutions to make this crossing point safer.
The community board approved the installation of safe speed treatments(external link), including a safe speed platform in advance of the pedestrian crossing and red coloured surfacing. These treatments will give motorists more time to notice if the traffic signal is red, and to stop safely if needed.
Future work
We will need to return for one night in mid-May to complete the coloured surfacing. Another notice will be distributed for that work closer to the time./p>
