The Christchurch City Council has been trialling safety features at this roundabout since July 2023. These features have included low-cost speed cushions, handrails in the pedestrian refuge islands, and cycle ‘sharrows’ to indicate shared lanes for bikes and cars.
We’ll be replacing the speed cushions with permanent speed humps on each approach to the roundabout, as well as installing supporting signage and road markings. Speed humps are designed to slow traffic down, which helps to give people more time to react and avoid a crash. The impact of a crash is also less severe at lower speeds.
