Murdoch Crescent in Raumanga received safety upgrades as part of our Slow Streets programme. The work included improvements to the school Kea crossing as well as a recessed bus bay to help get kids to school and home safely.

Following a petition from the local community in Raumanga, preliminary designs were sent to residents in 2022. Designs were reviewed and revised to include feedback from the community.

The Slow Streets programme is designed to reduce the speed of cars in urban streets to make them safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

The work includes improving footpaths, crossings, lighting and slowing traffic, particularly around schools and public parks.
