Dear Sir or Madam
Subject:
Point Wells Traffic calming
Proposed Installation of speed calming humps
We are writing to you in response to concerns that have been raised by the residents of Point
Wells. Also following a recent traffic speed survey the speeds of vehicles entering Point Wells
were found to be exceptionally high.
Vehicles sometimes travel at excessive speed on Point Wells Road, especially during the
summer season. To improve road safety on Point Wells Road, Auckland Transport is proposing
to introduce several speed humps at approximately 100m intervals, to encourage drivers to
reduce vehicle speed and make it safer for local residents and through traffic.
The approximate locations of the proposed humps are shown schematically on the attached
plans. Parking will be permitted on the speed humps resulting in no loss of on-street parking.
The speed humps have been positioned to avoid interfering with private driveways and to
maintain the desired approximate 100m spacing interval.
It is noted that speed humps are generally effective at reducing vehicle speeds. However, they
can create discomfort for motorists, and may result in additional traffic noise associated with
motorists braking and accelerating in the vicinity of the speed hump devices.
As part of the consultation process, your feedback is being sought from those directly affected
by the proposal. Please complete the attached form and return it in the reply paid envelope
by 26 October 2012.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Julie Wood 09 355 3553
Yours sincerely
