Whakatane District Council, NZ courtesy crossing trial
Complete
Whakatane District Council trialed a new courtesy crossing installation to protect pedestrians and cyclists on a high-use road and in a semi-rural area. The courtesy crossing includes "dragon's teeth" and "red carpet" road markings alongside a centre refuge island which encourage cautious driving. Courtesy crossings area not officially pedestrian crossings but they are designed to provide safe accessways.
Project Succeeded
According to the Council, the trial period produced positive results and there are plans to implement similar structures throughout the district.
