• No Street Lighting cnr Goring & Lancing Rd, Sandringham

  Street Lights have gone out on sthn end of Goring Rd where there is a lot of petty car theft for on-street residential parkers. The darkness created by broken street lighting will do nothing to fix this problem! please act asap - they've been out for around a week.
• No Lights On Street 2 Months

  Ingram Crescent, Otara there are only TWO working street lights in the entire street has been for at least TWO MONTHS. We need this fixed, there is less light due to autumn-winter arriving. Thanks
• Speed Bumps Required Urgently

  Many non residents use Zefiro Drive as a shortcut/speed camera avoidance technique. The road is not wide enough to fit two small cars past each other once a vehicle has parked on one side of the road. Many people drive well over the posted speed limit of 50kmph, endangering residents and more importantly children that play on the footpath and roadway. Many animals have been injured and killed on this road due to careless road users. Speed bumps are a way of stopping tradegy before it happens, I personally do not want a child to be injured or killed on my street.
• Street light out
• Dust Nuisance due to increased traffic

  Due to frequent traffic utilisng the forest we get showered by road dust. We cannot open the windows to our house in the afternoon sun. The Auckand council advertises the local forest on all their websites as a suitable place for recreational use including mountain biking. As a resuly we get 50 -80 cars go visit the area daily. 100 + round trips. Once we lived on a quiet lane with only one other resident sharing the road. Due to the change in use and only 10km from metro Auckland the road needs urgent action outside our house.
• Trip hazard

  The concrete on the footpath is raised by over 3cm across the width of the path (adjacent to the tree)from the rest of the pathway. There has been tarmac put down to reduce the gap in the past but this is no longer effective. As a result it is causing tripping/falling especially at nightime as it cannot be seen.
• POT HOLE STILL NOT FIXED IN NEWMARKET

  i REPORTED TWO POT HOLES ABOUT A METER APART HERE ABOUT A MONTH OR MAYBE LONGER, ONE WAS FIXED ONE WAS LEFT, THEN REPORTED IT AGAIN! THIS IS OUTSIDE 21 MIDDLETON ROAD LAURISTON ROAD ALMOST OUTSIDE 2 LAURISTON ROAD NEWMARKET
• Street light between number 30 and 32 Turnberry Drive

  Light cycle continually going on and off
• Roads too narrow for cars to be parked on both sides of streets

  The roads close to Becroft Park become congested with parked cars whenever there are events on at Becroft Park. The affected roads are Becroft Drive (between Tristram Ave and Merriefield Ave), Havelock Ave (from Becroft Drive to Raines Ave) and Raines Ave. These roads need to have yellow 'no-parking' lines on one side of the road, as when cars are parked on both sides of the road, they are too narrow to safely drive down, and only one-way traffic is possible. Pax Ave has already had yellow lines added so parking is only possible on one side of the road. This is most prevalent on Saturday and Sunday mornings when there is junior sport, and there are a number of children walking the street, and due to cars parked on both sides of the road it is difficult to see the children when driving, increasing the risk of accident.
• Street lights out

  Street lights on Earl Road have been out for days.
• Flickering street light outside 11 Elizabeth place

  Street light going on and off all night
• Heavy trucks using residential street

  Butterworth avenue in opaheke has signs at the entrance and exit of the street that says heavy trucks cannot use this street. This is ignored as heavy trucks regularly speed down this avenue. I have seen them almost hit children crossing the road. They also have been causing damage to the road surface. The road is not designed for heavy vehicles and as such the trucks cause shock waves through the ground which affects the houses along this street. Is it possible to change the street layout to restrict physically the ability for these trucks to use butterworth avenue?
• Uneven road surface

  The road surface on great south road /butterworth ave intersection is uneven. The road has been plagued with lots of heavy and sometimes overweight trucks and as they hit the uneven parts of the road it sends shock waves through the ground and has been damaging nearby homes. This issue has been highlighted in the past and was fixed temporarily but the problem is now worse. The weight of trucks passing and the way the road is acting leads me to believe that the roads roots have not been created strong enough. The trucks also speed and this also does not help.
• water leak running down footpath

  on footpath 14 mackelvie street
• Street Light faulty

  The street light outside 4 Beckett way Mt Roskill is faulty it comes on and goes off several times each night
• Phasing not ideal

  Hi, the phasing of lights at the top of Greville Road (corner of East Coast Rd & Greville Rd) has changed recently and is causing massive build up of traffic waiting on Greville Road to turn right onto East Coast Road. Heaps of traffic comes off the motorway and up Greville Road to turn right at the lights. The traffic has recently been backed up for 100 odd metres and takes ages to get through the lights. A week or so ago, the phasing was perfect. It's very frustrating, sitting waiting for ages whilst the light is green for traffic heading north on East Coast Rd, going straight through the lights - the signal for them is green FOR AGES and there are not even any cars coming along, meanwhile all the turning traffic is sitting waiting! When the light finally goes green, it is green for 7-8 seconds which lets 5-6 cars through! It is causing a major traffic jam. Can someone please return the phasing to how it was as it was working very well. Thanks
• Blocked gutter and cesspit

  As a result of the December storm, the gutter and cesspit close to Tuakau and Kitchener Roads intersection is blocked with metal that was washed down the road. The roadway to the hospital (outside the Tuakau Road entrance) also had a large amount of metal deposited. We reported it to the council as cars were losing control as the entered the hospital and an accident was going to happen. As nothing was done, the neighbours got out one evening and cleaned up the entrance. While cleaning up the metal the neighbours discovered Tuakau Road itself has become undermined on the southern side of the hospital entrance. On numerous occasions we have seen vehicles hit the undermined section of the road.
• bus stop sign

  electronic bus stop sign on ponsonby road at picton road intersection not working
• No Lights

  Garret Place and outside 21 Tindall Cres street lights have been out of order for weeks. Has been reported before and I was told they would be fixed in 5 working days
• Dangerous crossing

  There are five issues with the pedestrian crossing, on Albany Highway, near Albany Primary School. 1: There is a pad that pedestrians need to stand on to work the crossing, and many of the small children are simply not heavy enough to always trigger the mechanism, leading to children occasionally crossing against the lights, or several children piling on to it and occasionally risking falling onto the road. 2: The pad needed to work the lights sometimes does not work at all, again leading to adults, and children, crossing a main highway against the lights. 3: The pad seems far to close to the road, as a parent, I teach my child to press the crossing light and STEP BACK from the traffic, however, the pad is less than the length of my shoe from the curbing, and traffic, on Albany Highway. This seems very unnecessary, and dangerous to force children to stand on the roads edge, especially since there focus is on trying to make the pad work the lights, and NOT the traffic... 4: The signage for said pad, described above, is vandalised, missing, and/or not obvious, and on several occasions, I have needed to explain to adults that you need to stand on a pad to work the lights, let alone children... this seems ludicrous to all, however, the main issue is that, again, adults, and children, end up crossing against the lights on a busy highway when they get fed up with failing to get the lights to work.... 5: The green-man light, indicating that it time to cross, when heading towards the school, has been out for many, many, months. The lights have been repaired several times during that period, including some technicians on site yesterday, however, it would appear that the crossing lights are consistently not tested, and the children are crossing on the buzzer alone, and not the green crossing light...
• Broken Curb

  The curb between the entrance way and exit to the Care Park carpark on davis crescent is broken. The corner piece has broken off. Not an urgent issue but the broken off concrete piece does fall into the street.

• HA HA YOU NEVER TRIPPED ME OVER

  HA HA YOU NEVER TRIPPED ME OVER ON THIS AS I STEPPED BACKWARDS, BECAUSE IDIOTS LIKE SMASHING GLASS PANE, WHAT IS LEFT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE DID STEP BACK AND TRIPPED OVER THIS, IT IS HARD TO CUT THE FRAME AWAY AS THE WHOLE BUS SHELTER MIGHT FALL DOWN, ONE SOLUTION IS TO ADD IN A NEW TYPE OF HAND RAIL ABOUT WASTE HEIGHT THIS IS AT THE SOULD GOING BUS STOP AT MANUKAU SHOPPING CENTER, IF THIS GETS POSTED NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME IT MEANS i HAVE WASTED HALF A HOUR BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE GIVES A HOOT ABOUT SAFETY.
• Misleading lane markings

  On Park Road going west-bound after the hospital/university, the right-hand lane has a "straight-ahead" arrow painted on it just after Seafield View Road. Left-hand lane is a bus lane. About 5 metres (!) before the intersection with Grafton Road, suddenly the right-hand lane is right-turn only, and the left-hand lane is left-turn and straight-ahead. There are no arrows painted between Seafield View Road and Grafton Road. Please provide some more advanced warning of lane changes (eg. a lane guidance sign, or repainting the "straight-ahead" arrow just after Seafield View Road as a "right-turn" arrow). Grafton bridge being bus/bike-only most of the time should not excuse such misleading lane markings.
• road way condition

  Coast road urgently needs grading as it has developed 'natural' judder bars and massive potholes.
• Traffic light phasing and lane marking incongruent

  At Sandringham Road Extension's northbound approach to its intersection with Mount Albert Road, there are two lanes, the left lane for left-turn and straight-through traffic, and the right lane for straight-through and right-turn traffic. However, the traffic light phasing is a leading right-turn followed by through and left-turn traffic, with no right-turn filtering allowed. This causes very inefficient right-turns as only one or two cars (or none!) can turn right before a straight-through car blocks the right-turn lane, wasting the rest of the right-turn phase. When, later on, straight-ahead cars get a green, those in the right-hand lane get held up by right-turn cars facing a red right-turn light, and then have to merge left, further disrupting flow. It is also very dangerous for bikes waiting to turn right in the right-lane cycle advance box as drivers may rear-end them while proceeding straight through. It is suggested that the phasing be changed to allow left-turns, straight-through, and right-turns simultaneously, then forbid right turns (with a red right-arrow light) to allow southbound traffic to proceed. This is the case for east-west traffic on Mount Albert Road, anyway, which seems to flow much better, given such a small intersection. (resend after original email bounced.)
• Street lamp flashing

  The street lamp outside 32 Mountbatten ave has been flashing on and off for over six months. Please help to repair. Thank you very much for your help :)
• Not working

  2 street lights at the Tranquility Rise end of Marine Parade not working.
• 2x Streetlights are not working

  Both streetlights located outside number 42 Edmund and opposite 57 Edmund are not working, that section of the street and the tight corner are therefore very dark at night.
• Speed Issues-speed humps required

  Cars speed down Oreil Avenue at speeds of up to 100kms regularly, all hours of the day and night. It's a popular street for boy racers to do burn outs and to test their speed limits. This is extremely dangerous given the primary school located half way down the road and makes me feel unsafe when turning into my driveway. Something needs to be done before there is a serious accident. Can we have speed humps installed at least?
• Street light not working

  The street light between 3 and 5 Ainwick Road is not working properly. It usually turns on at night but then turns off some time later, often when windy.
• footpath/street lighting not working

  the lights placed in the footpath/staircase joining top of Mulroy Place, Pinehill and Rosedale Road (behind rosedale rd shops) are not working! cannot see a single thing after 5pm! very dangerous as the path is a set of steep stairs!! please get it fixed asap!
• Car Parked Across Footpath

  This car (EYB744)blocks the footpath every night. It can be a danger on wet dark nights because pedestrians are forced out onto a narrow bend in the road. The car could be parked on their own property in their driveway, or on the street. Thanks for your help!
• road fault

  the transverse gap on the May road overbridge has been filled in but this is too high and causes a worse problem than before.ie when driving over it causes a crash and jolt through the suspension. The fill in the gap should be levelled to the road level to enable a smooth surface
• road fault

  recently a 2 inch wide trench was cut across the road for the laying of a cable. This has not been filled in and results in a noticeable crash when driven over.
• Pothole in roadway

  Pothole in the wheel-track of the road heading from Hibiscus Hwy towards Panorama Ct soon after turning right from Hibiscus Hwy (alongside traffic island). Very difficult to see at night.
• Speedbumps

  There is construction connecting San Marino Drive and San Marino Drive West. There is a large park here with many children and speedbumps should be put in to keep the children safe with the increased traffic that is sure to come. Please be preventative rather than reactive.
• Street lighting not working

  Street lights are not operational at night, starting from 54 Tiriwa drive till end of the street. Whole of the street is dark and unlit, it's major safety issue both for drivers and residents as darkness encourages crime, there were few burglaries in the past when lights didnt work. Please rectify urgently. Regards
• Series of street lights faulty

  Lights around the intersection of Ti Rakau Drive and Gossamer Drive are not working - possibly one whole circuit as multiple lights are out. This is a regular problem.
• Need safety mirror for turning vehicles

  Hi. Driveway leading to the properties at 86-104 Tiriwa drive, Massey is very steep, so any driver in a turning car cannot see if there are any cars/pedestrians/children on the driveway. Can you please install a convex mirror on the pole to ensure safe access to the driveway. Cheers.
• Leaking Fire Hydrant

  There is a leak from the Fire Hydrant cover on Balmoral Road outside 88-90 Balmoral Rad.
• street lighting

  would it be possible to install a street light on the corner of jersey and woodward road please as i am concerned a pedestrian will be involved in a accident with a vehicle one evening ... thankyou
• Box of bottles

  A box of bottles has been at the kirbside at 1 Jack Conway for over a week now. The street cleaner could be advised.
• Slippery raised road markings in wet conditions

  Hi, while riding my bicycle to work on Mt Smart Rd the morning of 21/06/2012 I crossed the road shoulder markings to ride around a parked car. The road markings appear to be newly painted and raised which caused my front and rear wheels to lose traction. I was lucky enough not to fall which had that happened, could have been extremely dangerous due to the heavy morning traffic. I don't think the markings need to be applied that thick, it causes a dangerous hazard for cyclists in wet conditions. Thanks Darrin
• street lights don't work

  the lights on the lower end of Lanigan Street have been out for some time (from #26 towards Tiri Tiri Road. It is way too dark there at night, especially around the footpath leading across the creek to Fordham Street.
• street light about to fall off pole

  The street light on the pole in the middle of the intersection is hanging by its wires. Still working though. The light opposite this, next to the dog section is not working.
• Vehicles speeding around the bend

  There is a corner outside of 1640A Dominion Road Extension, around which vehicles take too quickly. The risk is other vehicles exiting private driveways and speeding vehicles not being able to see them in time. there have been many near misses from accidents happening. Request that a SLOW DOWN sign or similar be placed on this corner to warn traffic of driveways.
• Missing Drain Cover

  A drain cover has been bent completely inwards on road in front of mailboxes 22-26 Kingsclere Place, Manukau. A small child or animal could get stuck inside.
• streetlight at 23 Hadley wood

  light cycles on and off all night
• Moss on footpath

  There is moss and growth from is number down to the corner of tuakana and Taratoa. Also, the general condition of the footpaths on these two streets is poor. It's a thoroughfare for the primary school so they should be fixed for safety.
• Bus stop seat installed wrong way round

  The bus stop seat faces the shops rather than the street. If you sit on it you can't see if your bus is coming. Easy fix, unbolt and spin it round.. Thanks
• Fire Hydrant leaking water all over footpath for days now

  A fire hydrant just outside the Thai restaurant Boonchu has been overflowing onto the footpath for a week or more.
• Leaves creating hazard on footpath

  The footpaths on Grafton Bridge are covered in fallen leaves. These are rotting and becoming slushy and slippery with the rain. There is the very real risk of someone slipping and falling on these leaves - specifically at the Symonds Street end of the bridge. Please sweep these up regularly to make the environment safe for pedestrians
• not working

• One Way Bridge developing dangerous hole

  The first one way bridge up the South head road is developing a hole- not really a pot hole, more a subsidence-it is on the edge- and it is getting bigger. there could be a nasty accident if more gives way, or a truck or car get too close to the edge. It needs checking fairly urgently.thanks
• Street Light pole hit by vehicle & never replaced.

  This lower section of Green Lane is very dark at night for pedestrians using this end of the street. The first light pole in the street was smashed quite a number of years ago & never replaced. In the last fortnight a new road crossing has been installed about where there was once a street light outside the Hill School. With the new crossing in place there is now obviously a need to illuminate the crossing and reinstate the street light that has been missing for so long.
• Bus Stop Damaged

  SWome two plus months ago during high winds the roof and one side of the bus shelter vacated the remaining structure. The remaining structure is useless as any form of shelter. The "loose" bits were removed and there has been sufficient time to "repair or replace" the structure which was past its use by date anyway (structural corrosion was the original reason that it disintergrated). As the remains now provide no shelter at all and winter has obviously arrived, when is it going to be repaired?
• Light is cycling on and off every 4 minutes all night

  The street light cycles on and off all night. Very dark intersection when off. East corner of clarendon rd and vale rd

• Potholes in road and in Wallingford way
• Street light not working

  Please fix the light as it is currently broken. This light keeps breaking down every 2 months or so, so you might check out the pole circuitry. 51 Wendover road is pensioner housing and there are lots of old people who might fall and break some bones when the lighting is poor specially during winter when it gets dark quickly. On behalf of all senior residents - a big thank you in advance!

• Massive road issue...

  This pothole has been developing for some time... its only getting worse... reason is the corner is on the end of a straight, people speed and brake into the corner fast and thats tearing up the road.
• Speeding on Wharf Road

  Since the road has been resealed (and the footpath not yet reinstated properly), it seems that the speed of traffic travelling along Wharf Road has significantly increased. We need speed limit signs along here please. Thank you.
• My road code has superfluous rules in it

  More motorist should read up on their road code, under STOPPING AND PARKING it says "You must not park your vehicle: *on the right-hand side of the road except in a one-way street. ......" I would not give a toss but someone (motorist no doubt) knock down a "P5" sign and moved it to the walkway between between Grandstand road north & Park road, if they stop wasting my time & the time and money of Auckland city council then I would not worry about motorist parking on the wrong side of the road in a two way road NOTE in the middle between Grandstand road north and Grandstand road south there is a grandstand blocking the road is a padlocked bollard. THERE MUST BE A VALID REASON WAY THESE RULES ARE IN THE ROAD CODE
• Speeding cars and heavy traffic

  Shelly beach road has high traffic usage and very few drivers adhere to the speed limit. There are no footpaths or judder bars making it extremely dangerous for pedestrians. There are many families with young children in this street. There have been numerous close calls. There is a scoutt den at the end of the street which increases traffic flow. Judder bars at the very least would go a long way in preventing an accident.
• Pedestrian crossing badly needed on Newton Rd

  The footpath on the south side of Newton Rd over the motorway on-ramp is a pedestrian death trap and really needs a marked crossing. It's a busy intersection and if there is a gap in the traffic turning left onto the ramp then you have all the cars waiting to turn right. Basically you are left hoping for some kind of miracle break in traffic or trust that the vehicles traveling west in the left hand lane without a signal on are actually not turning, which doesn't work so well. I really cringe the times I've seen older people try to cross there - you need to be able to move fast. Please paint some crosswalk lines.
• Bus Stop has the wrong timetable in it

  Bus Stop has the wrong timetable in it as this bus stop does not go TO Matiatia only FROM Matiatia. Please get someone to switch the mounted timetable inside the bus stop around to show the correct service.
• street light not working

  the street light on 28/30 ballarat street is not working.
• Street light out, intermittent

  Street light at gate of 18 The Parade intermittent, sometimes out for long periods. This is the only light in the front of the property, and when it is out, it is very dark and could be a perfect target for a break-in when we are not home in the evenings.
• 5 Street Lights Out (+3 Months)

  Hi, 5 of the Street lights on Otara road, have been popped (almost 4-5 months now) it has made the street dark at night and on occassions padestrians, cyclists & cars have near misses on this very street, where it is dark. Lighting is only based on one side of the road, however being popped it is fairly dark on both sides of the street. Would be great to get more information on this or the lightbulbs needed so we could try some type of DIY to repair this, fear it may lead to suspicious activity (eg: theft) in future may devalue the area - Thanks again
• manhole cover not flush with road causing excess noise

  There is a manhole right outside our house (428). It is not flush with the road and when large trucks go over it there is an excessively loud crash, especially if that truck has a trailer on. As this is a main highway the excessive noise is not only during the day, but almost violently loud through the night and early hours of morning, waking both our 7 year old and 8 week old baby. Please adjust the manhole cover so it sits flush with the road and reduces or eliminates the loud noise.
• Street Light Not Working

  Street light outside 61 Weatherly Road Torbay not been working for several weeks.
• Lack of White Sideline after New Road Marking

  Resurfacing Wharf Road from the corner of Belgium to the Causeway curve has now had new road marking done, but the white line on the west side of the road between Putiki and Causeway has not been done, making it unsafe for the people, pets and horses that use Putiki Road and then down Wharf Road on the east side. Please re-paint our white line from the Wharf Road intersection to the corner of Putiki!
• Street lights out

  A number of street lights have been out for a few weeks. May have something to do with recent roadworks. These lights are out from the top of the Whitford Road/Orangewood Dr roundabout on the left hand side travelling down to 145 Whitford Road. Think there's about 5 lights out. Light outside 145 Whitford Road has been faulty for months flicking on and off. Can you please fix as busy main road and quite dark at night. Thanks.
• Dangerous Footpath

  Wharf Road has recently been resealed and the lines repainted. The footpath/cycleway, however, used to have a line of separation barriers keeping it distinct from the roadway and offering some (slight) measure of safety. These have not been replaced. Walking along this footpath, particularly at night, is currently very dangerous as traffic travels along here very fast. I would very much like to see barriers with reflectors in order to make it safe for people walking from the bus stop at the other end of the road and to stop cars straying onto the footpath area. Thank you.
• Broken street light

  The street light outside 6 Rimutaka Place, Titirangi has been out for at least 3 days and was at first making crackling/popping noises. Any chance this could be fixed? Cheers

• Parking and obstruction

  CBD mums with babies walking from the pools at parnell encounter a few problems along the way. Walking with a pushchair along The strand, Parnell towards the intersection with parnell rise and beach road. The first problem is vehicles belonging to companies like 'firestone' blocking the whole footpath, causing us to have to walk out on to fast moving traffic. Second problem was under the bridge, walking towards the intersection, it is difficult to push a pushchair on this footpath because of the amount of large 'granite?' parking stones which have spilled over onto the footpath. I don't know how a wheelchair user would access this street.
• Whippy do, "BLACK FOOTPATH CANCER"

  over the footpath next to train entrance to Britomart train tunnel and what used to be the old city train station. I wonder if it has improved slip factor for killing off the elderly faster. What a bonus making it harder to see for the VIP (Visual Impaired Pedestrians) and the elderly. As I keep saying "who gives a toss about pedestrian safety".

• Sbeed bumps needed to stop speeders

  Hi there, At the end of Gibbons Road is a rugby park which is also used for Touch and also a beach. This causes large amounts of traffic at times (Saturdays and evenings mainly) There are many cars which go down the 50km/h road at excessive speeds or go from the corner of Gibbons Rd and Weymouth Rd up to 50 km/h as fast as they can, with so many children and dog walkers using the footpath I am concerned that someone is going to run someone over if a ball goes on the road or a dog gets loose off its lead. Please consider putting one or two speed humps along Gibbons Road. I have spoken to a few neighbours and they all agree.

• Right turn sensor from Birkenhead Ave to Onewa Road does not pick up motorbike

  This sensor is not picking up my motorbike, and I have to wait sometimes several cycles until a car arrives to activates the sensor. Other light sensors (for example the right turn from Highbury Bypass into Birkenhead Ave)appear to have no problem with my bike, which is standard steel framed etc.
• All lights along street are out

  Been out since power cut a week or do ago during the last storm? Maybe affecting parts of Glendale Rd as well.

• Money for Hawaiian good luck sign but no money for safety.

  The post on the left of the photo must surely be the “ “Hawaiian good luck sign” to pedestrians” it was taken looking up to the sky at one end and one side of the Karangahape over bridge that goes over state highway one. There are two more just like it on the other side and both ends of the bridge. Unfortunately I did not get the best part when I took the photo, They light up at night. The bridge is a disaster, pebbled footpath and riddled with footpath cancer makes the footpath very slippery for pedestrians when it rains, and that is not all, to make it easier for accidents to happen, the roof to the bridge does not go the full length like it used to......... On the right of the photo there is the steps from the Karangahape road entry to Myers park, notice how there is lots of money to symbolize the index finger but no money at all for a pedestrian safety hand rail. As I keep saying “who give a toss for pedestrian safety when we have money to give to the health and accident system”

• Right turn traffic arrow not working

  We came off the NW motorway (heading into the city) at Lincoln Road, wanting to turn right into The Concourse - right turn arrow not working. Unable to turn as too much traffic. Traffic also banked up right along The Concourse - mainly industry along this road and this is a big hold up to get across the intersection. These lights need more time for The Concourse traffic when working normally. Not good.

• Its our footpath not their road!

  Deep down I hate 'J' walking, but this blows me away, it has been there for some time now, but still people are happy to 'J' walk and not complain about it (as I say who gives a hoot about safety), it illustrates how pedestrians are treated as second class citizens. The controlled pedestrians can not walk across the “driveway” until pedestrians have the opportunity to cross either Remuera road or Nuffield street (not shown to the left of the photo). After I took this photo and pressed the “I want to cross” button I safely walked across and had a good minute to wait before the “you can cross” indicator came up. In my opinion the two controlled crossings should be unlinked, so pedestrians have the green light to walk the driveway most of the time (reverse to what they get now) and are only stopped when motorist want to come out of the car park or when motorist coming down Remuera road want to make a right turn into the car park. It would save motorist getting stressed out when they get the green light to leave the driveway (car park) and they have a 'J' walker walking in front of them. In the red box is a sign “Turning traffic give way to pedestrians” just like issue 2166 the sign has been turned to face pedestrians and not facing the turning traffic, unlike issue 2166 the sign is in much better condition. Motorist coming out of Nuffield street or turn left into the car park would have to wait for pedestrians to get out of the way.
• blocked storm water drain

  outside 15 Scanlan street, causes a heap of water to come down lower down the street. oh my finger got in the way. (I wonder if it is choked with broken glass, there is always broken glass on the footpath further up the street) I dont get it, last Christmas I asked the boss if I could sweep up outside work and get all the broken glass and the other rubbish off the footpath, half a hour later it was a good job done.

• Merge pinch point - dangerous for bikes

  The merge from two lanes to one on The Strand occurs on a corner. Since most people don't merge correctly there are often vehicles travelling side by side in the one lane area and vehicles driving in the hatched centre turning area. Particularly scary for cyclists as they are often caught between the parked cars and those on the road. Please move the merge area so that the road is down to one lane before the corner.

Thanks.
• Pedestrian crossing missing and desperately needed.

  The main North Western pedestrian walkway crosses St Lukes Road at Western Springs. This main walkway gets a lot of use from both pedestrians and cyclists. At the moment, motorists get priority when using the free left turn on ramp to head West on the NW M-Way when approaching from the South, forcing pedestrians to "shoot the gap" in between cars to get across. This practice of car dodging is inherently dangerous, and exemplified by cars accelerating to motorway speeds prematurely. The red marker shows precicely where there should (used to be?) a crossing. There IS a pedestrian crossing on the off ramp heading West from the NW MWay. There have already been collisions at this exact location, and it will only be a matter of time before a pedestrian is seriously injured. (I hate being right about this stuff)

Corner Khyber pass & Mountain road photo is looking up over the Auckland southern motorway. By the way, I think someone might of walked into a sign placed at "face height" ONLY NEEDED FOR MOTORIST, BUT IT WAS THE PEDESTRIANS WHO MIGHT OF GOT HIT WITH ALL THE PAIN somewhere near Auckland CBD, because it is not visual visible so well at night for pedestrians who might walk into it,, I did not notice it was missing last night when I walked pasted it, but it was positively gone this morning.

• The 'B' stupid electronic pedestrian crossing at Remuera.

  Friday 10th of June was a adventfull night [1] 5pm on Karangahape Road a black sports looking car went through a electronic crossing while the pedestrians had right of way, part way between the motorway bridge (Day street) & East Street. Thank the Lord nobody was on the crossing. [2] 7pm a car came out of Bassett Road and turned left into Remuera Road, just after the lights had gone red and Remuera had the green lights. Thank the Lord Remuera traffic was not quick off the mark. [3] So when I got to Remuera Road & Garden Road - Norana Avenue intersection some minutes later and saw all the red pedestrians indicators were on, I thought someone had pressed the button and run away. I waited for a complete traffic cycle and no green pedestrians indicator, so then thinking faulty pedestrian crossing. So I cross Garden Road with discretion and caution then Remuera Road a few metres away from that intersection, on the way back thinking that intersection is faulty cross Remuera Road at the Clonbern Road intersection when I got to Garden Road I push the button just to see what would happen, but cross the road anyway when get to the other side look back at the hopeless system and see there is a light going at the switch and hear the buzz not long latter. Then the penny drops ~ I have just been screwed by “idiots in the system”. What is the point of having red indicators going almost 24-7 wasting power and not only that, having money wasted on installing a stupid light on every switch at that intersection, which I might add is not clear to see in darkness when this type of system is not a common type of system around Auckland city, in fact if I have seen this system used before it is so long I can not remember when. THE CITY IS RIDDLED WITH MISSING BUTTONS, SO YOU HAVE TO WASTE YOUR LIFE WAITING AND WE HAVE TO CROSS THREE DAM ROADS WHEN YOU ONLY WANTED TO CROSS JUST THE ONE ROAD. WHAT IS THE B POINT IN WANTING TO USE ANY ELECTRONIC CROSSING? what is the B point on wasting money on installing a light at every switch when you are too lazy tight to install all the switches at every intersection? People in the system need to ask their doctor for the correct medication so they can think logical. From Eric

• Footpath cancer should of gone to Auckland Transport

  I just types this message out at http://www.aucklandtransport.govt.nz/online-services/feedback/general-feedback.aspx but when I clicked the "done send feedback" button a window pop up asked for user name and password which I did not have. Redundant footpath cancer still left on footpath after Newmarket temporary Newmarket train station has gone. One double lot footpath cancer used to be the entry/exit to the temporary Newmarket train station on railway bridge DAVIS CRESCENT, Also a minor footpath cancer at REMUREA ROAD entry/exit to the temporary train station. WHAT IS FOOTPATH CANCER? YOU MIGHT ASK: In the last couple of years Auckland city has become riddled with footpath cancer located mostly at electronicly controlled pedestrian crossings, there is a range of types; (1) Mostly bright yellow new footpath cancer, (2) Faded yellow or brown almost the same color as the background footpath, opposite Khyber pass road on Broadway Newmarket. (3) Silver dome footpath cancer ~ why I have no idea, this must be about as good as tits on a bull for Visually Impaired Pedestrians, used with abundance along Karangahape road. (4) Red footpath cancer, could be dyed red from human blood, left after someone slipped on it while wet (but I don't think so) Along Symonds street from say Newtown Road - Khyber pass road to Alex Evens street street - Symonds street exit of south bound motorway. REASON FOR NEED OF REMOVAL: I wrote a article on the dangerous Karangahape road footpath when it gets wet, I showed this article to a couple of friends, one told me they slipped on this "wet" footpath cancer, another person told me one of their customer went into their lunch bar shop (opposite Auckland hospital)and told them that they had a bad slip on this footpath cancer (they have since sold the shop, (that's not because of the footpath cancer)). Attached is a photo of silver dome footpath cancer (could of been taken on Karangahape Road)

• Right-turn lane not clearly delimited

  Right-turn lane from Stoddard Rd into Glenarm Ave is often occupied by vehicles coming out from the New World supermarket and eastbound traffic on Stoddard Rd, trying to turn right a short distance away at the May Rd/Denbigh Ave/Stoddard Rd intersection. Many such vehicles either drive on the right-turn lane/median strip all the way from Glenarm Ave through to May Rd, and/or will change lane onto the median strip without indicating. I have had quite a few close shaves as I change lanes to turn into Glenarm Ave, often needing to use my horn or be forced to make a last-minute lane change to avoid overshooting the intersection. Suggest that a "keep left" arrow be installed at the Stoddard Rd/Glenarm Ave intersection to alert drivers of the possibility of vehicles or bikes in that right-turn lane.
• Tree over hanging footpath

• Safety and Security is Compromised on Dark Street

  Street lights are too far apart from each other and have dull, yellow lamps that do not light up the street enough. There have been many incidents of street crimes (fights and brawls) related to gang activity, cars being broken into and/or stolen, abuse, loitering, house break-ins etc. This is very serious and I trust that the Council will take it seriously too. Too add, Fergusson Domain is increasingly more dangerous at night time. Lights and CCTV cameras on both Waitangi Road and within Fergusson Domain are a must to stop these often violent crimes from happening again.

• Right turn from Ponsonby Road to Great North Road leaves cyclists stuck

  The green right turn arrow at the traffic lights from Ponsonby Road onto Great North Road is only activated by cars. This means that if you're a cyclist turning right, you won't get a green turning arrow until a car wants to turn right too. As a cyclist you either end up stranded, waiting for a car to arrive to activate the green arrow, or crossing at the pedestrian crossing. Very annoying!

• the cry of a cyclist “[BUZZ] ME DEAD

  As I was walking along Tamaki drive about 8:38am today near the Ngapipi road I heard the cry of a cyclist “[BUZZ] ME DEAD”, as I looked up there was a car turning right from Tamaki drive into Ngapipi road in the stop position blocking half the road for oncoming traffic, with two cyclist fast approaching. Been aware of the electronic sign that lights up when cyclist approach that intersection from the Okahu bay direction, thought I could use a photo of that sign in a upcoming web page. As I stood on the traffic Island waiting for the sign to light up so I could take a photo, I noticed that a cyclist came towards me and the sign did not light up. After I took the photo I decided to stand on the footpath (in the shade of a lamp post) and waited about ten minutes for cyclist to come along, for about five minute everything worked fine, cyclist came – sign lit up, cyclist went – sign turned off, then twice within a minute cyclist came but no sign of sign lighting up ~ So I suppose one could come up with the theory: Motorist are putting too much faith in a faulty sign that does not light up when it should, so they proceed, then having to stop ½ way in the other side of the road when they make visual contact with oncoming cyclist.

• what good is this footpath cancer?

  It is faded dull gray. And would not be very visible to the Visually Impaired Pedestrian (V.I.P.) or is this just a plan to make people slip on them and push up our ACC levy (Accident Compensation Corporation) even further? I always avoid them but the other night it was raining and I was trying avoid the rain and fortunately only lost shoe traction. This is the same story, I go to "safe working practices" every two years and I get the same old theme every time W.G.A.S. then another accident occurs, My last job I was walking between Newmarket & Pakuranga each work day and back again, I NEVER HAD ONE SPOT OF TROUBLE WITH FOOTPATH SAFETY.

• Glass ~ glass ~ glass beware lots of Auckland streets that has no class.

  The western end of Karangahape Road got repaved and a few days later more broken glass on it. In my opinion Auckland city street cleaners should get free eye examinations, I have to pay for mine every two years and I do not have any trouble spotting broken glass around Auckland streets. Yes every day on my way to work I spot broken glass. I pick up broken glass and a few days later it back again. Goodness know how it gets there, if it is school children who are putting down broken glass, maybe Auckland city council could try to cure the problem by let the nearby schools know of the worse affected areas and the school teachers could get their students to write a essay on “The dangers of broken glass around our community” To make life easy for the teachers I thinking of starting a new web site http://www.reportBokenGlass.org.nz Just before Auckland super city came to be, I wrote in for the weekly newsletter if they could encourage readers to pick up glass bottles before it turns into a thousand small pieces of glass. But it seems some people suffer great pain from doing simple tasks. For my trade I have to do First aid & safe working practice, I think it is about time more people should do something similar if they are “two” lazy to put a couple of lines in a newsletter, then the worse that could happen is our ACC levy might come down.

• Streetlight not working

  Streetlight has not been working for a number of months.
• Buses blocking pedestrian signals, (including national “Matrix Footpath Cancer” MFC)

  About the 7th February 2011, the traffic phase was changed on Symonds Street, Grafton Bridge – Karangahape Road (including a free left turn from Symonds Street into Karangahape Road). First warning on phase change was given to motorist but not too pedestrian, so I crossed on 8th of February thinking the signals were faulty. The replacement phase change is the same as what it used to be before Grafton bridge was strengthen, highlighting a old problem and inconsideration for our deaf citizens. The replacement intersection traffic phase used before Grafton bridge was strengthened and now after 7th February means that pedestrians cross from Grafton bridge across Symonds Street (across the newly placed pedestrian crossing) to Karangahape Road immediately before motorist have the green light for Symonds Street. What happens on this phase change, buses stop on the red light on Symonds Street at the correct road marking, then they notice a bus behind them stopped with their left indicator flashing to turn left at the free turn unable turn. The front bus then moves forward to allow the bus behind them access to Karangahape Road, after the front bus has moved, it now blocks the visual signals for pedestrians waiting to cross from Grafton Bridge into Karangahape Road. With the interim lights phase change, Symond Street motorist got the red lights immediately followed by the pedestrian crossing, then it did not matter if the buses moved, before motorist got their next green light. Possible solutions: 1) Instruct bus drivers they must not move forward from the road markings. 2) Move the pedestrian signal higher so they are above the height of the bus. 2a) Duplicate the pedestrian signals so a second signal is above the height of buses. 3) Make the lead up to the turn into Karangahape Road longer. Conclusion: I would be dumbfounded if a solution was not found to avoid a regular occurrence of buses blocking these pedestrian signal on this light phase change as Auckland city (and no doubt other parts of New Zealand) has riddled the city with “footpath cancer” a matrix of very bright yellow plastic domes placed more at pedestrian crossing for Visually Impaired Pedestrian (VIP) , these bright yellow plastic domes are very slippery when wet, while I have only lost shoe traction and now avoid them, I have heard of other cases were other came closer to minor injury. It is time to realize there are hearing impaired pedestrians around as well.

• Damaged seat outside 17 Albert St

  One wooden rail missing from seat since early December 2010, bit uncomfortable I expect!
• Bus time sign out
• Right hand turn - Amber Light

  Right hand turn - Amber Light doesn not work
• 30min parking in residential area - can these be made to read excluding residents?
• Intersection Safety Albany Hway / Upper Harbour Dr

  Cyclists turning right out of Upper Harbour Dr have to merge with east bound traffic travelling at 70km/h traffic the Albany Highway intersection. To do this safely cyclists need to be able to see approaching traffic. Unfortunately all the gorse, pine and wattle trees now growing on the vacant area of land on the inside of the sweeping curve in Albany Highway severely restricts the visibility of this high speed traffic. Can these weed species please be removed?
• Cyclist Safety Albany Highway

  Hi Team, I have noticed that the southern shoulder of Albany Highway to the east of Upper Harbour Drive has gradually been over grown by grass, pine needles and road dirt. The road shoulder for west bound cyclists has now almost disappeared. Could the council contractors please dig or sweep this shoulder clear? Thanks
• Overuse resulting in potential danger to public

  Woodward Road is being overused (including by large double trailer trucks) as a bypass to taking the lights at Carrington Road and New North Road. A number of problems/issues arise as a result of this overuse. (1) Congestion on Woodward Road can back up right to the railway crossing where cars are momentalily stationed on the crossing - there is a major potential for a car vs train accident. (2) Car parking is permitted on both sides of Woodward Road resulting in essentially a single lane for traffic to pass through. With large numbers navigating this sometimes single lane a car vs car accident is likely. (3) Danger to pedestrians and and cyclists. There is a lot of pedestrian and cycle traffic around Woodward Road with the Unitec and primary school in close proximity. With high volumes of traffic comes increased likelyhood of car vs pedestrian accidents. I have personally almost been knocked off my bicycle by a truck and trailer on Woodward Road. I recommend Woodward Road be made a "one way" or alternatively introduce speed bumps as a deterent to motorists using this merely as a quick bypass.
• Footpath pushed up by tree roots

  Two years ago I asked ACC to fix the footpath outside my house. Two men came, put tarmac ontop of the cracks and left. I assumed there would be another reapir at some point, but the footpath is getting worse and it is dangerous to older people on the street. The conifer on the verge is pushing the footpath up and cracking the concret slabs (4 Foch Ave, Mt Roskill).
• Recently resealed but still faulty

  This road was resealed less than a month ago but ruts and potholes beginning to appear again in same place.
• Loose stones and Gravel

  Each time a bus departs, it leaves a trail of dust in the air and is most unpleasant. Also very hard access for wheelchair / mobility impaired people.
• Very slippery footpath along Marsden Street - especially when wet

  I reported this to Northshore Actionline this Winter, after my son slipped and banged his head on concrete while walking to Hauraki School (Marsden St has back walkway entrance - used by dozens of families to reduce congestion at main entrance on Jutland Road). Both my children have had near misses/slips numerous times. I am aware of other children slipping also and hitting heads or bottoms on the concrete also. The tiny stones on this path (it is extremely old) get super slippery when wet as their surface is so smooth. On Wednesday 24th Nov., Marsden Road was resurfaced but the footpath remains untouched -in a dangerous state. I was hoping to bring this to the councils attention now while the weather is good so something may be done about it before next winter.
• Uneven Surfaces

  The path between Te Mahia and Great South Road is a walking hazard. I have an image but the up-loader is not working
• Road subsidence, 2 potholes

  Subsidence and two potholes in left hand lane. Position is on joint of overbridge and intersection when travelling towards city centre from Grafton Rd where overbridge is above Port MWay exit. Exactly where the lights are.
• Heavily damaged pavement

  There is a section of pavement 2-3m long on Mountwell Crescent between the station carpark and KFC that is cracked, broken up and uneven. It's a trip/slip hazard especially in the wet and difficult for the elderly or those with pushchairs.
• Onetangi Road (the straight)

  Several deep potholes between the golf club and around corner past the quarry heading towards Ostend making it dangerous for all road users but more so for motorcyclists and cyclists.
• Pothole on New North Road

  There is a pothole developing in the middle of the city-bound lane of New North Road, right under where Dominion Road bridge crosses over the top.
• Crossing is almost all gone

  thought that it would have been fixed when they were doing others in the street, but it hasnt.
