Safety improvements for Atkinson Avenue Safety improvements for Atkinson Avenue
Proposal status: Closed
Project overview
There have been 105 crashes on Atkinson Avenue in recent years (2014-2019). Sadly, this has resulted in 20 people getting hurt, some very seriously.
Some of the crashes have involved pedestrians being hit by cars when crossing the road. Auckland Transport is taking a Vision Zero approach to road safety. This means we are striving to have zero deaths or serious injuries on our transport system by 2050. Atkinson Avenue has been identified as a high-risk road and has been prioritised for road safety improvements.
By 2050 the population in Tāmaki Makaurau will be around 2.4 million. |
