YOUR SAY
SH1 IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN
PAPAKURA AND BOMBAY

The NZ Transport Agency is proposing improvements to Aucklands Southern

Motorway (SH1), to support growth, inter-regional travel and freight along this
busy corridor.
From Monday 14 August to Sunday 17 September, we are seeking community feedback on capacity
improvement options for SH1 between Papakura and Bombay.
This project is one of many planned in the south, as part of the Supporting Growth Programme;
developing transport networks to support Aucklands new housing and employment areas over the
next 30 years.
Your feedback will help us decide which options to develop further.

OPEN DAYS
Come along to find out more and give
feedback on the proposed improvements
to SH1.
The SH22 Safety Improvements Project team
will also be available with updated information
following the recent consultation and to hear
your thoughts on the proposed solutions.

Making the road from
Drury to Paerata safer
State Highway 22 between
Drury and Paerata is classified
as a high-risk rural road for a
reason. Nine people died and
36 were seriously injured in
the past 10 years*. Most of
these crashes were caused
by drivers losing control
and running off the road, or
crossing the centreline and
hitting an oncoming vehicle.
*between 2006 and 2015
Making rural roads safer
This project is part of the Safe Roads
and Roadsides Programme underway
to make New Zealand rural roads
safer. The programme aims to prevent
deaths and serious injuries through
relatively simple measures such as
rumble strips, shoulder widening,
safety barriers, better signs and
changes to speed limits.
Something has to change
We understand this road is an important
link for commuters, local businesses and
freight, but its unsafe passing lanes and
poor visibility at intersections make it
difficult for drivers.
Up to 25,000 vehicles a day are using
SH22 to connect to State Highway 1,
and vehicle numbers are increasing.
We urgently need to make safety
improvements before more people lose
their lives.
Wide centrelines
Widening the centreline is
a deceptively simple way
to steer drivers away from
each other.
NEWSLETTER 1 | SEPTEMBER 2017
How we will make the road
safer
To make the road more forgiving if
people make mistakes, we plan to:
install flexible road safety barriers to
reduce the risk of head-on crashes
improve safety at key intersections by
installing a roundabout or traffic lights,
right turn bays or safer turning areas
install a flush median or a wide
centreline, giving drivers a safe place
to wait
create a safer two-metre wide
shoulder for cyclists and pedestrians
address unsafe passing lanes.
Flexible road
safety barriers
These barriers catch drivers
who leave their lane before
hitting something harder like
trees, poles, ditches or other
vehicles.

main safety concerns were for this stretch of road: the behaviour of other
drivers, speeding, getting in and out of your driveway and/or work, congestion,
unsafe intersections and passing lanes, and pedestrian and cyclist safety.

We listened and this valuable information has helped us shape the proposed SH22
safety improvements. Your feedback also highlighted some additional areas where safety
improvements could be made. Now wed like to double check we havent missed anything.

Proposed SH22 safety improvements

Drury to Great South Road - Wide centreline with a raised (eg island) median or wide centreline with a raised
median and an additional lane each way.

Intersection upgrades:
- Great South Road (roundabout or traffic lights)
- Burberry Road (right turn bay)
- Jesmond Road (limit right turns or include right turn bay)
- Oira Road (right turn bay or roundabout)
- Whangapouri and Bycroft Roads (right turn bay into Bycroft, consider limiting right turn out)
- Blackbridge Road (keep current right turn bay or roundabout)
- Glenbrook Road (roundabout).

Lane changes - Remove unsafe west bound (Pukekohe) passing lane, extend the east bound (city) passing lane near
the golf course. Consider additional passing lane for west bound (Pukekohe) traffic in a safer section, near Drury.

Glenbrook to Paerata - Continuous flexible median barrier (or selected locations), wide centreline or flush median.

Flexible median and side barriers - Entire length of the corridor from Drury to Paerata or sections identified as high risk.
