About the project

We’ve received requests from the community to improve the traffic flow on Gills Road in Albany and address safety and access concerns for buses through this section of the road, where it meets the one-lane bridge.

Cars parked near the narrow road by the bridge block other vehicles including buses from being able to get through safely and presents a danger to drivers and other road users. There are safety risks for oncoming vehicles and anyone crossing the road.


The changes we’re making by April 2025

  • Paint No Stopping at All Times (Broken Yellow Lines) opposite to 20 Gills Road extending the existing broken yellow lines by two car lengths.

A drawing with details of where the changes will be installed is attached on right hand side of this page.

How this benefits your community

      • Clears congestion and ensures ease of access for all vehicles into and out of Gills Road.
      • Improves visibility for drivers to see oncoming cars, people walking, cycling and crossing the road
      • Makes it safer and easier for people walking to the new playground, particularly for tamariki (children) who can be hard to see when there are lots of cars parked on the road.
