Station Rd and Carlton Rd Crossing

We are investigating the installation of two crossing facilities on Station Road and Carlton Road. Both roads experience high crossings without a safe crossing facility. Auckland Transport are in the process of investigating the best treatment type and location for the two crossing facilities.

What’s Changing

• We are proposing plans to install two new pedestrian crossing facilities on Station Road and Carlton Road. These locations experience high pedestrian movement, especially for people accessing the Pukekohe Train Station, but currently have no safe crossing points.

Timeline

• In December 2025, the Franklin Local Board endorsed a signalised crossing option for the project.
• Following this endorsement, the project team is preparing the design work needed to take the proposed option out for public engagement, which will include formal consultation.
• Public engagement is planned for March/April 2026, with details to be shared here once available.
• Construction is currently expected to begin in mid‑2026, subject to final approvals and weather.

Why it Matters

• New crossing facilities will allow pedestrians to cross safely to and from the train station and reduces the risk of an accident.
• No crossing facilities in this area may discourage the use of public transport.
