My children go to Ngunguru school. Vehicles speed along this road. There needs to be safe crossing for children and the general public.

I struggle to cross this road

We have a duty to protect the wellbeing of our children.

The traffic is very dangerous and fast through this town. The sidewalks are too narrow and so many school kids are walking there dangerous roads daily. Even in summer there are a lot of kids on the edges of the road and narrow sidewalks. A radar sign that shows people their speed and a reduction in the speed limit from the dairy to the school would also save our kid's lives!!

People drive over 80 kms along the stretch of road, there are so many children around and is so dangerous

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

Ngunguru needs this!

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#20

As a long time resident and homeowner in Ngunguru I know how desperately these crossings are necessary.

(Auckland, 2020-07-31)

#21

The traffic runs too fast through this congested area. Also not safe for adults crossing. These pedestrian crossings will have some traffic calming effect.

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#22

I strongly think there should be a couple of pedestrian crossings in Ngunguru Village. It feels like only a matter of time before a child or elderly person is injured and this should never happen. The road throughout the village is busy with trucks as well as cars it is the only thoroughfare to use. I have school aged children and it feels like it should be common sense to have a pedestrian crossing on this busy road to ensure safety for the whole community especially the children and elderly.

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#25

It’s needed

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#27

A crossing is badly needed in front of or close to the dairy.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#28

My children have both had near misses trying to cross the road in Ngunguru. Also it’s very difficult for elderly and disabled folk to cross safely.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#29

Crossings are needed for this small town to make our children safe crossing roads

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#32

We need to keep people safe, especially children!!! My nephews live there and they need to be safe!

(Taupo, 2020-07-31)

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#38

We need to be able to cross safely by the dairy its a busy road and one of the only grocery shops for the area.

(AUCKLAND, 2020-07-31)

#39

To make our children and community safe.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#41

This crossing should be done! Should not even have to have a petition for this!

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#44

local of ngunguru

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#46

I'm signing because my children cross at both the recommended pedestrian sites all the time and I would feel relieved knowing there were safe places for them to cross the street, especially without my guidance.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#49

This is be very important!

(RD 3 Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#52

I have personally witnessed too many near misses with children going to and from school attempting to cross the roads with oncoming traffic. This community continues to grow and it’s time to implement some of these safety measures. Better to act now than wait until a serious accident occurs to assess what was needed to prevent such circumstances.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#55

I agree with all the stated above

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#57

I’m signing because this was my playground growing up and my nephews live there

To do good shits in the community

(Parua Bay, 2020-07-31)

#64

This is an important cause

(Tutukaka, 2020-07-31)

#65

The current situation regarding the volume and speed of traffic and number of young children currently in the area, combined with a lack of safe crossings in Ngunguru , especially near school bus stops, is a disaster in waiting and I believe unless it is rectified it is only a matter of time before a child is seriously injured or killed.

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#66

I live here and I have witnessed the danger

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#68

I live in tutukaka and agree the children need safe places to cross the main ngunguru road to get to and from school safely.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#69

Its needed

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#70

I have family there who deserve safety

(Hoi An, 2020-07-31)

#74

I'm signing because I frequently visit family in Ngunguru who live on Shoebridge Cresent and know how dangerous this area is for crossing, especially with the school just up the road. I have seen how fast cars and trucks travel here and know how essential this crossing is for safety of all who live and visit Ngunguru.

(Auckland, 2020-07-31)

#75

I'm signing this petition because of the need for pedestrian crossings near the shop and Shoebridge Crescent due to concerns of the speed of vehicles and to keep our children safe when crossing the busy road.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#79

We need those crossings in Ngunguru!!

(Ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#81

We live on the 50 km stretch through Ngunguru Township and feel strongly towards something being done to slow down Speeding traffic.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#87

This main road is so unsafe for young children going to and from school. There is NO child safe place to cross from one side of the road to the other. The footpath ends in some places so people have no option but to cross over in order to stay on the footpath.
This affects not only children's safety, but also people with physical disabilities who rely on the footpath to give safe, even ground.

(ngunguru, 2020-07-31)

#89

My moko need a safe place to cross the road

(whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#92

(Ngunguru Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#99

I don't want to see mine or anyone elses children run over because of someone speeding through Ngunguru. Need speed bumps right along the water front through to Te Maika Road to protect our children as they walk to school.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#103

I believe there should be a safe pedestrian walkway in Ngunguru.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#104

I'm signing because I cross these parts of Ngunguru road often with my 3children and dog, cars are constantly not going the suggested speed and it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt.

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

#105

This is needed in the community

(Whangarei, 2020-07-31)

(Whangarei, 2020-08-01)

#127

I recommend

(Whangarei, 2020-08-01)

#128

I'm signing because I live on Ngunguru Road near the shop and see near accidents every single day between Shoebridge Crescent and the shop. Motorists are confused by the blue and white arrows, the paths are narrow and traffic too fast.

(Whangarei, 2020-08-01)

#129

Im signing because I live here and see accidents nearly every day as there is no safe place for school children, elderly and pedestrians to cross the road.

(Whangarei, 2020-08-01)

I’m signing because I spend much time in Ngunguru and also experienced difficulties crossing the road safely due to traffic speed

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-01)

#131

having grown up in Ngunguru, and now raising my children here, I fully support this initiative. I also have an elderly grandparent living on Ngunguru road that could safely access the waterfront if a crossing was installed.

Thank you for your consideration

(Lower Hutt, New Zealand, 2020-08-01)

I grew up in Ngunguru and have young nieces living there. The road gets busier every year and some safe crossing places are needed.

(Lower Hutt, 2020-08-01)

It's definitely needed!

(Whangarei, 2020-08-01)

This is so dangerous for children and local people who cross the road at their peril. Pedestrian crossings urgently needed please.

(NEW LYNN, 2020-08-01)

Its a health and safety issue and to do nothing would be negligent.

(Leigh, Auckland, 2020-08-01)

#144

It affects my kids

(Whangarei, 2020-08-01)

Heavy traffic thunder through Ngunguru - two pedestrian crossings required at shops and school end of village for the safety of children and elderly

(New Plymouth, 2020-08-01)

My kids are about to start at Ngunguru School

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-01)

#150

This is important

(Whangarei, 2020-08-02)

#152

The safety of our tamariki is paramount .. get on with it. This is urgent.

(Mangatoki, 2020-08-02)

#153

We need urgent action to slow the traffic in Ngunguru. The speed limits are not observed by a large number of drivers and the area is not policed. It is not safe for children to cross the roads.

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-02)

#155

Safety issue

(Tutukak, 2020-08-02)

#156

Support our tamariki in keeping safe in our community

(Whangarei, 2020-08-02)

#158

kids need to safe, there is an area set up now where the kids x the road. to formalize it with a zebra x makes sense. but then common sense often doesnt come into it when dealing with councils. SADLY!

(whangarei, 2020-08-02)

#160

Definitely a need for this!! There is a semi crossing point just after/before the shops but it is inadequate. Lots of movement And distractions around that area Especially during summer.

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-02)

#163

I am signing because we have a very dangerous situation at Ngunguru with traffic acting like the road through the township is a highway yet it is the only way to school. I don’t want anyone to get hurt. Traffic must slow down through Ngunguru and we have to do everything we can to help our children be safe. Crossings are urgent.

(Whangarei, 2020-08-02)

#170

To promote safety.

(Whangarei, 2020-08-03)

#171

It’s a safer option than is available along a very busy road.

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-03)

#174

Growing population calls for better traffic management for all road users and pedestrians.

(whangarei, 2020-08-03)

#175

Pedestrian crossings are essential for pedestrian safety as all of the following factors have significantly increased in recent years: Ngunguru permanent population, Ngunguru School roll, coastal traffic.
Both crossings are required: the first because footpaths dictate one must cross here, the second for access to the medical centre and all the housing on Shoebridge Crescent and Waiotoi Road.

(Ngunguru Whangarei, 2020-08-03)

#177

Because having grown up myself in ngunguru I have noticed the Roads are getting busier and it’s getting more unsafe to cross these parts of the roads especially for younger children. Our community is all about our Tamariki therefore putting these crossings in will make it much safer for them and future generations

(Whangarei, 2020-08-03)

#179

Crossings are essential to help keep our community safe

(Tutukaka, 2020-08-04)

#180

I see near misses with children and adults everyday. The footpath is also so narrow, slowing speed with a crossing Will help avoid a catastrophe

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-04)

#185

My son crosses these roads and is always finding it hard I think we also need to make it a school zone at the end of shoebridge and make it 40km

(Ngunguru, 2020-08-06)

#186

I visit Tutukaka often and know that this is a dangerous bit of road to cross, particularly for children going to school, but also for anyone wanting to access the beach there.

(Tauranga, 2020-08-06)

#187

It is dangerous to not have a pedestrian crossing on this road, especially when traffic increase on summer.

(Whangarei, 2020-08-07)

#191

It's needed!

(Whangarei, 2020-08-10)

#195

I have children that walk and ride to Ngunguru school and the crossing particularly at the intersection of Shoebridge Crescent Ngunguru Road is very dangerous.

(Whangarei, 2020-08-11)

#196

Its required urgently
