Poll: Should Waka Kotahi NZTA allow a cycle lane trial over the Auckland Harbour Bridge?

Kia ora koutou. Two lanes on the Auckland Harbour Bridge were closed for a period on Sunday, as cyclists took over two northbound lanes.

The rally was organised by Bike Auckland, which is calling for Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to allocate one of the structure’s eight lanes to cyclists for three months over summer, when traffic is at its quietest.

Bike Auckland chairwoman Barb Cuthbert​ said securing a way across the Waitematā Harbour for cyclists was “the most important cycling issue in Auckland”.

But NZTA spokesman Brett Gliddon said making traffic lanes on the Harbour Bridge available to cyclists in the short term was “not as simple as some advocates imply”.

“The bridge was not designed for a walking and cycling function, and there are true and genuine safety and wider network issues that need to be worked through and balanced,” he said.

AT INTENDS TO USE THE THE RESIDENTS / ROAD USERS OF SALISBURY ROAD AS HUMAN ROAD BLOCKS.

From AT re Birkdale / Salisbury Rd intersection.

“Lane capacity on Birkdale and Salisbury – the kerb buildouts on Birkdale Road opposite Salisbury Road reinforce broken yellow lines on Birkdale Road and stops vehicles from undertaking vehicles turning right into Salsibury Road. This is designed to slow operating speeds approaching the school crossing on Birkdale Road and increase intersection safety.”

SO WHEN YOU ARE WAITING TO TURN RIGHT INTO SALISBURY RD, VEHICLES CAN NOT PASS – SO BACK UP BEHIND YOU. NOW WE, AND THOSE WAITING BEHIND US, HAVE THE GREATLY INCREASED RISK OF BEING CRASHED INTO FROM THOSE COMING DOWN BIRKDALE ROAD!! BEING USED AS A HUMAN SPEED REDUCING ROAD BLOCK.

Safe Schools Speed Trial

Without prior scientific observation as to what was occurring. Involving and informing as few people as possible. Promoting kids playing next to moving vehicles. We came up with NOat signs to encourage better solutions and consultation. (please note that a placed sign means we have permission to place and the view of the property is independent although generally supporting.) Suggestions about what AT should do, should be sent to AT - but do not expect any response. Calling it a Trial is not an excuse for the manner it has been done. All the information you get is vague. And there is no option to be against this. Decide if this is how you want your future roading solutions to be.
