Improvements to intersection of Kiddle, Arrowsmith and Napier roads to begin
The intersection of Kiddle Drive, Arrowsmith Avenue and Napier Road is about to be changed to make it safer for school children, cyclists, pedestrians and cars.
The new design will give traffic travelling on Kiddle Drive and Arrowsmith Avenue the right of way, with vehicles on Napier Road required to stop. There will also be cycle lanes, new road signage, new turning lanes and other safety improvements added.
Head of operations Kevin Strongman said the council had heard residents concerns about the high crash rate at the intersection and had worked with traffic specialists to design a solution that made safety the number one priority.
The existing layout of the intersection had caused traffic problems over the past two decades. It was named one of New Zealand Transport Agency’s top 10 crash sites in 2009, before it was handed over to the council as part of the East Taupō Arterial rearrangement. The $120,000 cost of the redesign will be fully funded by the New Zealand Transport Agency.
