About the project


Making the Selwyn Street and Arthur Street intersection safer for all road users!

This project is part of Auckland Transport's High-Risk Intersection programme, a safety improvement programme that prioritises safety interventions at high-risk intersections in Auckland.

Between 2018 and 2025, 34 crashes occurred at the intersection, resulting in 1 serious injury and 12 minor injuries, primarily due to turning or failure to give way. Contributing factors include poor visibility, high approach speeds, and inadequate pedestrian facilities that are misaligned with the desire lines to nearby shops and schools.


We are proposing the following safety improvements:

  • Installing a mountable urban roundabout, including any associated signage and road markings.

  • Installing speed cushions on all approaches and traffic islands to slow approaching traffic and improve vehicle deflection when entering the roundabout.

  • Providing pedestrian crossings on all four legs of the intersection, including the removal of the existing pedestrian refuge islands on Selwyn Street near #74 and #110.

  • Installing two driver feedback signs on Selwyn Street, one outside #68 and another outside #83.

The proposal is expected to significantly reduce the likelihood of crashes at the intersection and reduce vehicle speeds in the area. It is also expected to improve safety and amenities for pedestrians.


Benefits and Impacts

  • The roundabout will slow traffic speeds, making it safer for bus and other heavy vehicle movements, as well as for turning and crossing.

  • Safer pedestrian crossing facilities will make it easier and more enjoyable for you, our tamariki, and the community to navigate your neighbourhood with confidence.

  • Parking changes will involve reprioritising two parking spaces, one on Arthur Street to accommodate the new pedestrian crossing and another on Selwyn Street to formalise the broken yellow lines opposite the Harbour View Terrace intersection.


How you can have your say

Have your say by completing the online feedback form. The form will be open till 01 September 2025. If you have any questions or comments email ATengagement@at.govt.nz(External link)

The feedback survey can be found at the end of the webpage.


What happens next

We’ll post the outcome of this proposal and a summary of community feedback on our website.

Any change to the plan will be updated on our website.

  • Selwyn Street, Arthur Street- intersection improvements

    We are proposing to upgrade this intersection to respond to safety issues raised by the community, by installing a roundabout and zebra pedestrian crossings. This will make walking, cycling and driving safer and easier and provide better connections to schools, businesses and the shopping precinct.
