Safety concerns with Heavy vehicles and increased traffic on Eugenia Rise

Heavy vehicles are parking on this road on a regular basis which block site lines both ways, up and down the hill. (see pics below with a trucks either side of the road). This is a huge risk for children and their families using the Nga Hau park, the Eugenia shops and local residences, coming in and out of driveways and side street traffic entering and exiting the road such as Maitairangi and Paulownia Avenue.

I feel it’s a fatality waiting to happen…. as these heavy vehicles are parking in these spots regularly and with the increase in traffic in our area increases the risks.

This is evidenced by pics taken this morning of cars having to cross the centre line, and also you can see the deteriorating asphalt where these heavy vehicles regularly drive and park. Also when these vehicles place their tyres on the grass verge it also rips up the grass in wet weather.

On top of this I have noticed a lot more traffic on Eugenia Rise especially over the last year . This could be contributed to the massive increase in traffic backlog on Redoubt Road. I have been told that google maps reroutes down Goodwood Drive and Eugenia Rise to avoid the traffic light build up on Redoubt Road to the traffic intersection Everglade Drive, Hollyford Drive, Redoubt Road. On top of this , a lot speed down the Eugenia Rise Hill, having to pass these massive tall 10 ton trucks, a children’s park, local shopping centre and side streets traffic like Maitairangi street (recent addition of 97 new homes a few years ago).

While I am very grateful to Manurewa Local Board chairman Glenn Murphy for helping us get the installation of the speed feedback digital signs to help monitor the speed issues some time ago, we still have daily speeding traffic and these additional issues of heavy trucks blocking site lines, deteriorating roads, and increase of traffic that I feel there is a need urgent action and attention.

I’m really interested in what others in our community are experiencing and have to say on this matter.
