Traffic lights to be installed at 'death trap' Auckland junction after local activism

Kia ora neighbours,

A group of activists rallying for change at a “death trap” of a junction in rural south Auckland has won a temporary set of traffic lights to manage hectic traffic flows on and off the motorway.

At the increasingly busy service station and retail zone on Mill Road, Bombay, drivers struggle to get in and out of Mill Road between the service station and the State Highway 1 on and off-ramps.

Fed-up locals established the Bombay Collision Cross Roads Action Group to demand change from Waka Kotahi and Auckland Transport.

That has resulted in a short-term design, which would include a traffic light at the SH1 southbound off-ramp at Bombay, the northbound off-ramp and on-ramp and the exit from the Bombay service centre, which would all be linked to each other, Waka Kotahi said.

Between 2014 and 2021, there were two fatal crashes and five serious crashes on Mill Road, according to road safety data from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport.

In a statement, a Waka Kotahi spokesperson said staff undertook traffic modelling before recommending that traffic lights were the most appropriate solution.

What do you think of the traffic light solution?
