Major decline in walking and cycling
Roads can be made safer and more attractive for walking and cycling by slowing traffic
Road user behaviour can be influenced by changing the road environment
Future streets is quantifying the safety, health and economic benefits of redesigning streets in Mangere Central
Disability Strategic Advisory Panel 16 June 2014 |
|
Changing the road environment can change
driver behaviour
Local road – pre treatment
Local road – post treatment
Disability Strategic Advisory Panel 16 June 2014 |
|
The team is using a participatory process to bring together
research-based evidence of effective street design and local
knowledge of street use and safety hotspots. Local government
agencies are funding the intervention.

• Personal Safety
– Especially pathways due to poor lighting, youth drinking,
crime and gang affiliations
• Speeding
– Friesian, Orly, Mascot, Thomas, Killington Crescent, Jordan
and Imrie Avenue
• Lack of crossings
– Massey Road and Bader Drive
• Confusion around priority on Waddon place and around mall
• Dogs in the area pose a threat to walkers and cyclists
Disability Strategic Advisory Panel 16 June 2014 |
|
1. Street/route hierarchy giving greater priority to
pedestrians and cyclists
2. People feel safe on routes
3. Reduce traffic speed and make it more consistent
4. Improve peoples ability to cross the road safely
5. Schools and the Mall are priority destinations for the
walking and cycling network
6. An arterial separated bike network is important
7. Improvements reflect the identity of Mangere people
Disability Strategic Advisory Panel 16 June 2014 |
|
Catering for all users (walkers, cyclists, mobility scooters)
with a wider shared path,
increased lighting & seating. Points of interest such as community art or exercise/play equipment
Disability Strategic Advisory Panel 16 June 2014 |
|
Making Fresian Drive more like a residential street with space for cyclists,
scooters and skaters. Slower traffic.
Disability Strategic Advisory Panel 16 June 2014 |
|
Informal re allocation of space: smoot surface path for cycling, scooting, skateboarding, skating

Why Mangere?
• Comparatively high levels of amenity access
(eg parks, shops, marae, schools, churches, sports clubs)
• High traffic-related injury rates
• Case and control areas with similar street layout, topography, and demographic characteristics
