Northcote Road signals

While Marian College was under construction, ViaStrada was contracted to carry out the initial scheme design through to the detailed design of pedestrian access improvements around the campus.  The work included the design of a signalised mid-block crossing on Northcote Road, a major arterial route in Christchurch, a Raised Safety Platform (RSP), and shared path for walking and cycling on Lydia Street, the smaller road leading to the college off Northcote Road.

RSPs help reduce the speed of drivers approaching whilst also acting as a pedestrian crossing.
The design was a collaborative effort also engaging the expertise of Bill Sissons of Advanced Traffic.
