Michael Jones Drive - Speed hump installation

Consultation outcome

Howick Local Board (External link) identified Michael Jones Drive as an area for improvements. In response to requests received by the Howick Local Board, Auckland Transport are proposing to install speed humps along Michael Jones Drive.

In July 2024, you shared your views on our proposal to make improvements to Michael Jones Drive in your neighbourhood. We’d like to thank you for taking the time to respond and for playing an important part in getting Michael Jones Drive future-ready.

Community feedback on the proposed speed humps

We consulted with directly impacted residents in July 2024 and received your responses. The main topics raised by the community were:

• Reduced speed
• Safer roads
• Increased safety for pedestrians
• Slow Emergency services down
• Increased emissions
• Too many speed humps
• The speed hump proposal is in the wrong location
• Unnecessary spend
• Installing speedbumps is not the right solution /The issue is parked cars and trucks

Consultation outcome

After carefully considering all the feedback, we’re proceeding with the work as proposed with some minor location changes.

What happens next

We anticipate delivering these changes in early 2025. We'll be in touch with local residents before any changes take place.

The work will include

• Install seven speed humps along Michael Jones Drive to promote safer speeds in the community
• We are proposing to install the speed humps outside number 7, 27, 37, 55, 65, 75 and outside Robin Brooke Park (this is a slight amendment to the original location)
• Remove seven car parks to increase pedestrian visibility and to provide a safe space for pedestrians to cross the road increase visibility at the intersection of Chapel Road and Michael Jones Drive

This project is funded by the Local Board Transport Capital Fund. This fund is used to make improvements based on community priorities, which may not be covered by other programmes of work. The improvements will be delivered by Auckland Transport on behalf of your local board.
