Brighton Road, Basset Road intersection improvements
About the project
Making the Brighton Road Bassett Road intersection safer for all road users!
This project is part of Auckland Transport's High-Risk Intersection programme, a safety improvement programme that prioritises safety interventions at high-risk intersections in Auckland.
Between 2019 and 2023, 14 crashes were recorded at this roundabout, including three serious injury crashes, six minor injury crashes, and five non-injury crashes. All serious injuries have occurred since 2022, and the intersection is currently ranked as the 23rd most high-risk intersection in Auckland.
We are proposing the following safety improvements:
Installing a raised signalised pedestrian crossing on Brighton Road
Installing a raised zebra crossing on Bassett Road
Installing high skid resistance surfacing on two legs of the roundabout
The proposal is expected to significantly reduce the likelihood of crashes at the intersection and reduce vehicle speeds in the area. It is also expected to improve safety and amenities for pedestrians.
Benefits and Impacts
- New pedestrian crossings will enable pedestrians to cross more safely and more easily
- High friction surfacing and a driver feedback sign will increase drivers’ awareness and encourage more appropriate speeds and reduce the risk of crashes for all road users
- Reconstructed footpaths, ramps for prams or mobility scooters, and other upgrades will make it easier for families to get around.
- Improved road markings and upgraded islands will help drivers navigate the roundabout more easily.
What happens next
The survey has now been closed, and we are reviewing the feedback.
We'll post the outcome of this proposal and a summary of community feedback on our website.
Any change to the plan will be updated on our website.
