About the project

Upcoming Changes to Pedestrian Crossing Facilities Across 423 Dominion Road!

We’re planning to install a new pedestrian crossing facility across 423 Dominion Road. Dominion Road is one of Auckland’s busiest routes, and we regularly hear from people that crossing the road here feels difficult and unsafe.

This project was initiated in response to feedback from local community about safety concerns related to lack of dedicated pedestrian crossing facility in the area.

The project proposes installing a new signalised crossing across 423 Dominion Road, along with new high‑friction surfacing and a relocated bus stop aligned with the new crossing to improve overall safety and accessibility. As a result, a total of five parking spaces will be removed, and a P60 time restriction will be introduced on Herbert Road.

What we’re planning to do before June 2027:

• Install a signalised pedestrian crossing across 423 Dominion Road so people can cross safely with traffic stopped.
• Install high-friction surfacing on either approach to the new crossing and red marking over the crosswalk to improve visibility.
• Remove existing refuge island, which no longer provides enough protection in this busy intersection.
• Relocate existing bus stops to work better with the new crossing.
• Establish P60 time restriction on parking spaces on Herbert Road, adjacent to 448 & 452 Dominion Road.
• Remove 5 on street carparks to make space for these safety improvements.

You can view the proposed changes in the attached plan.

How this will benefit your neighborhood:

These upgrades are about making every day journeys safer and less stressful - whether you’re walking or driving through the area.

• Gives people a safe, signal-controlled crossing so they don’t have to take risks in heavy traffic.
• Creates safer and more direct connections to local shops, bus stops, and community facilities, making the area more reachable and connected.
• Improves visibility between drivers and pedestrians, ensuring a safer environment for children and residents.

We want to hear your feedback on:

• Any specific local knowledge, operational issues or suggestions that may help to refine the proposed design.
