The installation of safety improvements will soon begin around Opoho School. These changes will facilitate safer crossings for pedestrians, making it safer for families to pick up or drop off their children farther from the school.
The design for these safety enhancements has been developed based on feedback received from the consultation that took place in 2021. This will reduce congestion and improve road safety for everyone in the area.
The planned timeline for this work is for completion by the end of June 2024.
The extent of the confirmed works include:
- Raised pedestrian crossing - The existing pedestrian crossing on Signal Hill Road will be raised and relocated to a new location, featuring a kerb buildout, road markings, and a streetlight.
- Intersection diet – The kerb at the intersection of Blacks Road and Signal Hill Road will be realigned with new crossing points and road marking.
