About the project
Making the Wood Street, Elliot 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 2019 and 2023, 11 crashes occurred at this intersection, with two additional crashes in 2024. Resulting in four minor injuries andnine non-injury crashes, with 82% related to motorists crossing/turning issues
We are proposing the following safety improvements:
Installing a mountable roundabout at the intersection of Wood Street and Elliot Street
Installing a refuge crossing with a side island on the eastern leg of Elliot Street.
Formalise and relocate the existing bus stop on Elliot Street further west to enable the new mountable roundabout.
Upgrade the existing line marking and signage to accommodate the new roundabout.
Loss of 2 parking spaces in total
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 in the area.
Benefits and Impacts
The roundabout will reduce vehicle speeds, address the current crash patterns, and allow for safer turning movements at the intersection.
The improved layout will help drivers navigate the roundabout more easily and reduce confusion about who has priority.
The refuge island will improve accessibility and safety for all pedestrians.
Parking changes will involve re-allocate road space by removing one on-road parking space on the south leg of Wood Street, and one on the north leg of Wood Street,and painting broken yellow lines to provide queuing spaces for vehicles, ensuring that pedestrians crossing the road can see approaching vehicles clearly.
What we want your feedback on
Your input will help shape the final design and ensure it reflects the needs of the community.
Tell us:
Any specific local knowledge, operational issues or suggestions that may help to refine the proposed design.
Any ideas or concerns you'd like to share
Together, we can make this intersection safer and more accessible for everyone.
How you can have your say
Have your say by completing the online feedback form. The form will be open from 13 October to 3 November 2025
