Larry Williams Drive

Auckland Transport is assuring cyclists a traffic light in the middle of a cycle lane on Tamaki Drive is only temporary. Deputy mayor Desley Simpson has expressed anger at the signals in the $14 million dollar cycle lane. But Infrastructure Project Delivery Group Manager David Nelson says the cycle lane will close soon to give workers space to widen nearby Ngapipi Bridge. But he's conceded communication could have been better. "When the temporary signals went in, it came as a bit of a surprise to people and we could have communicated the temporary nature of those works to the deputy mayor a little bit better."
