Street, traffic and crossing lights
We are responsible for street, traffic, and pedestrian crossing lights.
Street and pedestrian crossing lights
If you think your area needs new or additional street or pedestrian crossing lights, contact us to discuss your ideas or submit a Fix it.
Dunedin's street lighting network has various types of lighting:
- Normal road lighting
- State highway lighting
- Pedestrian crossing lights (belisha beacons)
- Lighting in the city's parks and reserves areas
- Various lights on private roads, right of ways, and some private properties (known as private street lighting)
The network's maintenance is contracted to Delta Ltd. They provide a 24-hour a day, seven-days a week service to the city. If you wish to report a fault or outage on the street lighting network, contact Delta directly on 0800 STLIGHT (0800 785 4448) or email streetlights@4delta.co.nz.
Alternatively, contact us on 477 4000.
If you notice a bulb has blown at a pedestrian crossing (green and red walk signals) around the town, contact us or submit a Fix it with the location details and we will arrange for a contractor to fix the bulb.
Traffic signals
General traffic signal concerns
If you notice a traffic light bulb is out, the timing of the lights seems out of alignment, or the traffic lights are not working at all, we would like to hear about it.
The traffic signals are monitored from inside the Civic Centre, so we are usually aware of any problems, but it is still helpful to let us know.
In urgent situations (eg all the lights at an intersection are out), please contact us immediately. We will take the details, contact the Traffic Engineer and arrange for contractors to fix the problem.
Traffic signals and railway crossings
There are two intersections in the Dunedin area that we may not be able to fix immediately if the signals are not working, as they are on a railway crossing with barrier arms.
These intersections are at:
- Gordon Rd and Gladstone Rd, Mosgiel
- St Andrew Street and Anzac Ave
If you think that the light is not changing or is stuck on a green light on one approach, this may have happened due to the barrier arms being brought down by Tranzrail. If the barrier arm is down, contact Tranzrail on 0800 808 400 as they will be able to advise if there is a problem with the arm or lights.
If the barrier arm is not down, contact us or submit a Fix it.
