We’re trialling whether a raised crossing at the west end of Carlyle Street will make people feel safer on this busy stretch of road.

It is part of a suite of safety improvements being made to Carlyle Street as part of the NZTA Waka Kotahi Streets for People programme. 

This is a new type of rubber raised crossing, the first of its type to be installed in New Zealand. It has a much more gentle gradient than usual, so it’ll be quieter and gentler for pedestrians and for vehicles to use. This section of Carlyle Street is very close to a kindergarten and it’s been a priority to make it safer and more enjoyable with lower speeds and traffic volumes. 

If the trial is a success, the crossing can be replaced by a more permanent solution.
