Safety
improvements at Solent Street entry
We are pleased to update you on some recent initiatives undertaken at
Ports of Auckland to improve the safety and efficiency of our main
entrance at Solent Street.
Changes include:
- realigning lanes and road markings;
- adding barriers to separate incoming and outgoing traffic to the Port
and terminal;
- removing trees to provide better sightlines; and
- installing directional and speed limit signage.
These changes complement other modifications made earlier in 2009,
including adding express lanes for trucks and expanding the truck transit
area.
We will continue to develop longer-term solutions to ensure that the
Solent Street entrance and roadway is as safe as possible. This work is
being progressed in collaboration with expert traffic engineers from BECA
Infrastructure, and will include further engagement with the wider
transport industry, truck drivers and the community.
Thank you in advance for sharing this information within your
organisation, especially with those who use this area regularly.
