About the project
Safety Improvements at the Pitt Road and Great South Road Intersection
We are proposing to enhance safety at high‐risk intersections throughout Auckland.
The intersection at Great South Road and Pitt Road is currently the most dangerous in Auckland. Between 2020 and 2024, there were 13 crashes at this intersection, with 10 caused by drivers not giving way when coming from the southern end of Pitt Road. NZ Police have also highlighted this as a significant safety concern.
We’re proposing a temporary solution to mitigate these safety issues while we look into a more permanent fix, such as installing a roundabout. This will help make the intersection safer for everyone right now, as we plan for a long-term upgrade in the future.
What we’re planning to do before June 2027
We are proposing the following safety upgrades at the Pitt Road and Great South Road intersection:
Install traffic island on the south leg of the intersection on Pitt Road.
Widen Pitt Road on the south leg of the intersection.
Improve the road surface, signs, and road markings where needed.
You can view the attached plan to see exactly where the changes will happen.
How this will benefit your neighbourhood
This quick safety improvement will help reduce the risk of crashes and make the intersection safer for everyone who uses it. The benefits include:
Better visibility and reinforcement of the existing Give Way control.
Improved driver’s behaviour through physical deflection.
Safer and easier to turn at the intersection.
Because this is a small, low‑impact treatment, it is not expected to cause significant disruption to residents or road users.
What happens next
We want to hear your feedback on:
Any specific local knowledge, operational issues or suggestions that may help to refine the proposed design
Contact us via email engagementfeedback@johnstaff.co.nz. Please use “GSR-Pitt Road” in the subject line.
We would love to hear your feedback up until 27 May 2026.
