Improve Triangle Road Cycle Lane - Stop Traffic Sitting in the Cycle Lane
Final supporters
Triangle road has 2 lanes for Cars, and 1 bicycle lane, in the peak-morning traffic, cars make 3 lanes, meaning cyclist have to squeeze between them, making the cycle lanes redundant.
Our preference is for a physical barrier to prevent cars using the cycle lane. This will ensure cyclist safety, and prevent offending.
If this is not possible, the next preference is for Auckland Council to undertake an enforcement program, With offending vehicles being warned, and in time, fined for not obeying the road rules.
The Western cycle track is a wonderful facility, but the current state of the Triangle road cycle lanes, is putting lives at risk. Fixing this issue will help encourage cycling in Auckland, which has many positive knock-on effects.
This matter has previously been raised with the Auckland council, however no suitable action has been taken.

Total joke. I got forced into the curb last week because a guy in a ute decided his time was more important than my safety.
Too dangerous for my kids to ride to school. Needs barriers ASAP!!
Please fix this triangle road layout. Cyclists are actual road users too and we deserve to not be squashed by traffic.
Every single morning cars are parked in there while I am just trying to get to work. Its not even a lane anymore its just a slip road for impatient drivers.
Just put some plastic bollards down. It would cost nothing compared to the risk of someone getting killed.

If the council wont do anything about the cars blocking the lane then they should stop pretending we have bike lanes at all.
