About the project
We propose changing the priority control at the intersection of Fisher Parade and The Boulevard to improve driver safety.
We have received several concerns from the community and the Howick Local Board about safety at the intersection, which primarily revolve around the unconventional give-way on Fisher Parade and the increased traffic from the nearby Saint Kentigern College carpark.
We propose to remove the unconventional Give-Way on Fisher Parade and making The Boulevard a standard Stop control.
Other options were also considered. From our investigation the intersection appears to be operating relatively safely outside school times, and the proposed changes can be installed quickly and is cost effective.
We believe we have found a balance between cost effectiveness, improved safety and traffic flow, and driver awareness by bringing up the intersection to a familiar standard intersection design practice
What we are proposing
