About the project

We’ve received a request from the Kaipātiki Local Board to install angled parking on Cresta Avenue in Beach Haven due to the high parking demand for local sports clubs and facilities in the area.

We would also like to address safety concerns near the intersection of Cresta Avenue and Beach Haven Road.

This proposal is funded through the Local Board Community Transport Fund. We’d like to get your thoughts on the proposed changes to improve parking availability.

A drawing on the right side of this page shows where the proposed changes will be installed.

What we are proposing

  • Change parallel parking spaces to angled parking on a section of Cresta Avenue.
  • Install 25 angled parking on the east side of Cresta Avenue. This will increase the total number of parking spaces to 43 for the community, compared to only 18 parallel parking spaces now.
  • Paint white parking limit lines or parking bays (sometimes known as hockey sticks) on the west side of Cresta Avenue
  • Paint no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) around the intersection of Cresta Avenue and Beach Haven Road.
  • Paint new road markings and install a Give Way sign at the intersection. 

Benefits to your community

  • Angled Parking provides additional 25 parking spaces. Makes it easier for drivers to pull into and out of spaces, improves traffic flow as cars need less space to manoeuvre and reduces congestion. It also improves visibility as drivers have a clearer view of oncoming traffic when leaving a parking spot.
  • Parking bays/limit lines: Clearly defined spaces or limit lines maximise parking, reduce confusion and helps drivers avoid blocking driveways. They improve safety by organising traffic flow within the parking area, lowering risk of crash incidents.
  • No Stopping Zones: clears visibility into and out of Cresta Avenue and makes it easier for drivers to see oncoming cars, cyclists and people walking or crossing the road.
  • New Road markings and signs at the intersection: Clarifies the right of way, improve safety and visibility by minimising risk of collisions, and ensures compliance with traffic regulations.
