More children are reportedly walking in the area prompting concerns about their safety.
The Papakura local board has called on Auckland Transport to investigate improving conditions near Pulman Park and neighbouring Kauri Flats School, a new school boasting nearly 300 students.
Board chair Brent Catchpole said there are a number of areas where driver behaviour is not as good as it should be, and that’s particularly concerning near major parks and schools.
Many people will tell you speeding is common, he said.
"Children are among our most vulnerable community members and they are entitled to our protection.
“If that means we have to get the police there to enforce things, and ask Auckland Transport to put in more permanent measures, we can’t shy away from that.”
The board has asked the agency to develop a concept plan for Walters Rd addressing health and safety issues for people, particularly children, trying to cross the road.
The board petitioned for a pedestrian crossing on Walters Rd outside Kauri Flats School and a 40kmh school zone speed limit.
It requested a slip road outside the athletic throwing net at Pulman Park, aligning crossing points with park entrances, creating defined twin lane exits at all points from the park, and urged AT to ensure all stakeholders are involved in any plan.
Papakura was not the only area of concern.
The board has also asked Auckland Transport to lower speed limits between Hingaia Bridge and the motorway, and at Harbourside Drive and its side roads due to increased housing development in the area.
Are you worried about safety for pedestrians in your neighbourhood?

Trade Me spokesperson Millie Silvester said New Zealanders are keen property lovers and every year unique properties take top spots for the most viewed properties.
Jonah Lomu’s former Maupuia mansion was the site's most viewed property of 2020 with 196,000 views, Silvester said.
The five-bedroom Mediterranean-style house with expansive views of Wellington harbour has a rateable value of $2.4 million and is still listed onsite.
Silvester said the list wouldn’t be complete without a few multi-million dollar mansions too.
“Kiwis love to dream and each year we see thousands of views on some of the most expensive properties for sale in the country," she said.
A lavish inner-city mansion in the Wellington suburb of Thorndon clocked up 150,000 hits making it the second most viewed property of 2020.
"The home has an eye-watering asking price of $6.5 million and is still onsite.”
Another Wellington mansion took out the third spot with 148,000 views.
The five-story pad in Brooklyn has an asking price of almost $4 million and boasts an entire floor dedicated to an indoor swimming pool.
Fourth on the most viewed list is a 125-year-old church perched on Awhitu Peninsula in Franklin, which drew 117,771 views.
“The little church is surrounded by some pretty incredible natural scenery and looks out over the Tasman Sea - it’s really no wonder it was dubbed the most photogenic church in the country," Silvester said.
A tiny cottage in the middle of Mount Eden was fifth with 78,059 views.
The festive-looking green house with bright red windows has just one-bedroom and one-bathroom, and spans 51-square-metres.
Also making the cut is Owlcatraz, a native bird and wildlife park in Horowhenua- sixth with 74,300 views.
The 6.67 hectare property includes a four-bedroom home, its own lake and a glow worm cave.
Wellington’s air traffic control tower, Arnold, was seventh on the list and after 68,444 views, Arnold gained a new owner in October.
