Improving safety on Godley Road and Titirangi Road

About the project

We’re improving safety near Green Bay Schools and at the Godley Road/Titirangi Road intersection. This will make walking, cycling and driving safer and easier, so everyone gets where they need to and home safely.

We will install new traffic lights at the intersection of Godley Road and Titirangi Road, which is a high-risk area for crashes.

We’ve worked closely with Green Bay Schools to make safety improvement outside both the Primary and High School, which includes upgrading the crossings. These changes will slow down traffic, improve visibility, and reduce crashes in this busy area.

Together, these projects will make it easier and safer for everyone to walk, cross, and travel around your neighbourhood.

Growing communities means busier roads- so we need to improve crossing facilities and make travelling locally safer for everyone!

The changes we're making in 2026:

Safety improvements near Green Bay Schools

• New crossing islands outside Green Bay High School so children have a safe waiting area in the middle of the road.
• Relocated crossing outside Green Bay Primary School (further east) with the existing indented parking removed for smooth traffic flow.
• Gentle speed cushions with side/central island along Godley Road between La Rosa Street and Stottholm Road to slow down drivers.
• New bus shelter near Green Bay High School for students and other bus users.
• Extended no-parking (broken yellow lines) at Stottholm Rd/Godley Rd and Castleford St/Godley Rd to improve traffic flow.
• New traffic islands near driveways to improve visibility for drivers and people on foot.
• To make space for these improvements, we need to reallocate road space and remove six parking spaces (one on Stottholm Rd, one on Castleford St, 4 on Godley Rd).

New traffic lights at Godley and Titirangi Road intersection

• Installing traffic lights to improve safety at this high-crash intersection.
• These lights will control the traffic going straight along Titirangi Road, traffic turning right from Godley Road, and provide a crossing for people to cross the road.
• The lights will be phased, i.e. on a scheduled timer. However, during busy times, this pattern can change to give priority to the road with heavier traffic, helping to ease congestion.
• Adding a new zebra crossing on the left-turn slip lane from Godley Road to Titirangi Road, which will be free-flowing, but drivers must stop when people are crossing.
• Widening the footpath near the new crossing to give people with prams and mobility needs more space.
• Installing new/reshaping existing traffic islands to support the intersection layout of traffic signals.

Benefits to your community

• Safe crossing facilities make it easier and stress-free for you, our tamariki and our community to move about your neighbourhood with confidence.
• It offers better connections to parks, public transport and other local amenities.
• Improves visibility by ensuring children crossing Godley Road can be easily seen by drivers.
• New traffic lights and crossing will reduce crashes and near misses, making the area safer for all road users.
• Ease congestion and improve access by removing parking spaces that block sightlines.
• Supports community connections – Shows a commitment to the safety of the entire school community and nearby residents.
