Glenfield Primary Safe School Streets Trial on Chivalry Road
Glenfield Primary Safe School Streets Trial on Chivalry Road:
For the next few months, Auckland Transport will be trialling temporary measures around Glenfield Primary School, designed to reduce vehicle speeds.
The changes include a simplified road layout, kerb build-outs to slow traffic, and artwork to signal that this is a school area and slow speeds/extra care is needed. These changes have been developed in consultation with the Glenfield Primary School.
CONSTRUCTION:
The changes are being constructed overnight (7pm to 6pm) this week. During the construction period, there may be machinery noise, restrictions on parking, and traffic control in place.
TRIAL:
The trial will include:
* School zone markings, flexible bollards as well as new speed cushion pads which act as a visual cue to drivers that they are entering a slow speed area
* A new drop-off and pick-up zone inside the Glenfield Primary School carpark indicated by a purple painted kerb and signage
* Cycle lanes painted with a unique theme chosen by Glenfield Primary School which will help emphasise the presence of school children in the area
* Pedestrian wayfinding street art chosen by Glenfield Primary School to help direct the flow of foot traffic, particularly when children are arriving and leaving

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
