Walking Forward Together: Clevedon Village pedestrian safety improvements (Site 3 and 4)
Building on earlier pedestrian safety improvements in Clevedon Village, Auckland Transport is continuing to work with the Clevedon Community and Business Association, the Franklin Local Board, and the local community to make it safer and easier for people to walk around the village.
The proposed changes aim to improve pedestrian accessibility, help slow traffic where needed, and support safer movement for everyone — including school children, people walking, cycling, and those with prams or mobility needs.
This next stage focuses on two locations near the village roundabout and the Clevedon School back gate.
You can share your feedback on these proposed changes — let’s walk this together.
Here's what we’re proposing to do:
Papakura–Clevedon Road / North Road / Clevedon–Kawakawa Road roundabout (Site 3):
This busy roundabout is used by everyone from school families to buses, trucks and vehicles towing trailers. The proposed changes aim to make it easier and safer for people to cross, while also helping larger vehicles move through the roundabout more smoothly.
Proposed improvements include:
- Extending the mountable roundabout aprons to give larger vehicles for turning space.
- Upgrading the splitter island on the Papakura–Clevedon Road approach with new pram ramps and a pedestrian cut‑through. (This will replace the existing courtesy crossing, which will be removed as part of the proposed pedestrian safety improvements near the Clevedon Superette, Site 1.)
- Reconstructing the existing splitter island on Clevedon–Kawakawa Road near the roundabout to improve pedestrian refuge and alignment.
- Building out the kerb and add pram ramps on the North Road approach to improve pedestrian accessibility.
These improvements link with earlier safety improvements near the village shops, helping create a more connected walking route through the centre of Clevedon.
49 Clevedon–Kawakawa Road, near Clevedon School back gate (Site 4):
This area is well used by school children, parents, cyclists and walkers. To help slow traffic and make crossings more visible, the proposal includes:
- Add side islands, red road surfacing with “SLOW” markings, and signage near the Clevedon School back gate to visually narrow the road and slow down the approaching traffic.
- Introduce cycle bypasses beside the side islands, providing a dedicated space for cyclists and reducing conflict with vehicle traffic.
- Introduce low-height planting to improve the streetscape while maintaining clear sightlines.

Benefits
- Support walking and accessibility: Improved crossing facilities make it safer and easier for people of all ages and abilities to get around.
- Slower vehicle speeds in key areas: Road treatment and signage encourage slower speeds, especially near the village centre and school.
- Safer travel around Clevedon School: Changes near the school back gate improve visibility and road safety for school children and families.
- Safer space for cyclist: Cycle bypasses provide safer space for cyclist and reduce conflict with vehicles.
- Smoother movement for larger vehicles: Extended aprons gives heavy vehicles more space to turn safely.
- Support walking now and into the future: The improvements help make walking a safe and convenient choice for everyday trip within the village.
