Pedestrian behaviour data

Central Taranaki Safe Community Trust did some research on pedestrian activity on Broadway in 2023 to determine if people were using the crossing facilities available.

Their findings can be viewed in this document.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the feedback process for improved pedestrian access on Broadway/SH3.

This project was funded entirely by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi. 

Construction began in July and was completed in October 2024.
