The section of Hobson Street between Wellesley Street West and Cook Street has one of the most condensed residential properties in Auckland, and the many commercial shops along the street are generating significant foot traffic daily. It is estimated that 23,000 pedestrians cross mid-block here every day.
This block of Hobson Street has an established pattern of pedestrians being struck by vehicles while crossing at mid-block consistently in the last five years, and a fatal took place in June 2017, with two more serious injury pedestrian crashes in December 2017 and May 2018.
Hobson Street is classified as an Arterial District that directly connects to the motorway on-ramp and is extremely busy. The CBD environment, shops, parking facility, the concentrated residential properties, etc. generate major foot traffic to this block every day. With two signalised intersections – Hobson Street with Wellesley Street West and Cook Street – being more than 200m apart and no additional pedestrian crossing facilities provided in between, the current provision does not suffice the demand and encourage active road user activities in this area. The crash history also demonstrates that there is already an established pattern of pedestrians crossing mid-block colliding with vehicles.
