Proposal for bus stop changes: Stop #1540 Queens Road at Campion Road

As part of a region wide programme to improve safety and accessibility at bus stops, we are seeking your feedback on proposed changes to a bus stop(s) near your address. 

Metlink have received concerns about buses, when entering the above bus stop, are damaging nearby cars potentially parked near or around stop #1540. To ensure that property owners and visitors to the nearby properties identify exactly where the bus stopping space is, we propose to install standard bus stop markings. these changes will also improve customer accessibility to/from our services by ensuring drivers always have space to safely position their bus parallel to the kerb line, as close as possible to the bus shelter.

Where possible, we try to place broken yellow lines over driveways to reduce the loss of on-street parking. For this new bus stop layout, two parking spaces will require removal to carry out these improvements. 

Proposal details 

  • Install 15-metre bus box 

  • Install 9-metre entry taper (broken yellow lines) 

  • Install 9 metre exit taper (broken yellow lines) 

  • Removal of two parking spaces

Proposal for bus stop layout changes: Bus stops #1733 and #1737 - Kirk Street, Otaki

Metlink have been in touch with a developer of a property near you on Kirk Street, and to enable their development to progress successfully and safety, we have reviewed the position of stops #1733 and #1737. 

Stop #1733 – Near 25 Kirk Street (currently at #37) 

It is proposed that bus stop #1733 be repositioned northwest, between #35 and #37 Kirk Street, to align the head of the bus stop with a section of standard-height kerb. This adjustment is intended to restore accessibility for passengers boarding and alighting, ensuring the stop meets required service and safety standards.

In addition, the following improvements are proposed: 

  • New bus stop road markings to formally define the bus stop area, ensuring buses can stop close and parallel to the kerb; 

  • Introduction of ‘entry’ and ‘exit’ broken yellow lines to: 

  • Preserve clear access for buses to align properly at the stop. 

  • Prevent obstruction by parked vehicles. 

  • Allow buses to safely merge back into traffic. 

  • Ensure passenger safety by reducing risks associated with bus tail swing and poor boarding angles. 

 These changes are essential to providing a safe, comfortable, and accessible boarding environment for all users.

Stop #1737 – Near 42 Kirk Street 

To ensure consistency between the stop pair, we propose the repositioning and visibility improvement of stop #1737, located near #42 Kirk Street. This includes: 

  • A slight northeast repositioning of the stop; 

  • New road markings to clearly define the stop zone; 

  • A staggered configuration for the stop pair, in alignment with NZTA’s Public Transport Design Guidelines, which recommend staggered bus stops to minimise conflict with overtaking traffic. 

Design Considerations 
These changes have been developed to: 

  • Minimise loss of on-street parking, with most road markings located over existing driveway spaces; 

  • Maintain traffic and vehicle safety; 

  • Ensure an accessible and user-friendly experience for public transport customers in the area. 

Proposal details 

  • Move stop #1733 4.5 metres north-east (near #35) 

  • Move bus stop #1737 11 metres north-east (near #42) 

  • Install 9-metre exit taper (broken yellow lines) at both stops 

  • Install 9 metre entry taper (broken yellow lines) at both stops 

  • Install 15 metre bus box at both stops
