Traffic could be banned from crossing State Highway 1 at a notorious North Dunedin intersection if transport planners favour a low-cost fix.
Scenarios for shutting off part of Great King St to northbound traffic were looked into last year, and are set to be considered next year when a business case about broader State Highway1 work includes further examination of what should be done at the intersection with Pine Hill Rd.
The main issues there have included trucks having brake failure or brake fade as they come down Pine Hill Rd, inadequate visibility from Great King St and poor provision for cyclists and pedestrians.
