Obstructions

Documenting everyday barriers to accessible streets in central Tāmaki Makaurau.

Here is the link to report vehicles parked on footpaths. https://t.co/t4Uby0izOU You need to be able to log into an AT account, otherwise call 09 355 3553.

Ugh. Someone tell the Uncool Group their jeep is too big.

[Joshua Arbury @Jarbury]

A four year old kid got hit by a car outside my house this afternoon while crossing the road. At the exact location a signalised pedestrian crossing is proposed. He seems like he'll be OK, miraculously. The next one might not be. Please hurry up and fix this @AklTransport

[Obstructions @Obstr_uctions]

@dukeyoi @AklTransport Not ideal! Maybe they’re trying to stop a suspected criminal who is travelling on two wheels?! A bicycle bandit perhaps?

[rodger kerr @kerrnell]

Parked for an hour in the cycleway, is this the standard process for dropping off guests for the Sudima Hotel? @AklTransport @AklCouncil @BikeAKL

[Captain Pinchy @captain_pinchy]

Hi ⁦@AklTransport⁩ could I please have a warden to Olive rd, Penrose? Multiple vehicles parked over footpath all along the western side. Thanks

Hey @BarfootThompson, it’s a footpath nor your personal carpark for a viewing!

@AklTransport it doesn’t do any good to pass reports on to parking enforcement if they never actually do anything 😞

Virginia Ave West

[George Weeks @GeorgeWeeks2014]

Hi @AklTransport this is happening in Alberon Street in Parnell.

Please send enforcement. There is no need to block the footway like this, particularly when families are trying to walk their kids to school.

Plenty of on-street parking here.

Ah, Grey Lynn 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Captain Pinchy @captain_pinchy]

Anyone want free car parking in @newmarketnz ? Help yourself to the road verge outside the dealership at St Marks Rd.
Just get in early before it becomes Mercedes storage at 8am. PS. It's been free parking here since at least 2009! Tell me I'm wrong @AklTransport

[Fiáin (they/them) @Wilde_Leafy]

Hello @AklTransport is this McDonald’s maintenance vehicle allowed to park on the shared path? Maybe McDonald’s needs someone to talk with them about where it would be more appropriate for their maintenance vehicle to go? @McDonalds

[Captain Pinchy @captain_pinchy]

Brilliant response to illegal parking. The note is unnecessary, the bird shit will get the message across.

[🚲 AklBikes 🚲 @AklBikes]

Wtf @AklTransport I just saw a guy almost get mowed over & a car on car crash because you have put these signs up whilst signals actually working. What's the point of these, its stop/give way if they're out but if they're actually working some ppl will take that as they're faulty

[Obstructions @Obstr_uctions]

Hakanoa Street.

[Obstructions @Obstr_uctions]

And again, 41 Hakanoa St. Now and everyday @AklTransport

[Richard @akl_richard]

Hi @AklTransport can you please send a warden to 59 lake rd

[RNZ @radionz]

Ongoing disruptions to public transport as people head back-to-work are causing headaches for many - especially for those with disabilities. https://t.co/op7VINmeid

@kiwimusiclover @brendon_harre @AklTransport This account documents the many, many examples of footpath parking and other obstructions around central suburbs. It’s not just one car, street or neighbourhood. What I’ve noticed though is the same vehicles, over and over, routinely using the footpath as a personal carpark.

[Obstructions @Obstr_uctions]

The owner of this vehicle parks here everyday because you allow it @AklTransport. He just told me he’s allowed because it’s his driveway. When I asked about prams & wheelchairs he pointed to the footpath on the other side of the road.

[Obstructions @Obstr_uctions]

35 Grosvenor St. Now (&probably all day) @AklTransport

[Obstructions @Obstr_uctions]

@Econgrad5143 @EEErinRN @AklTransport The problem is, they seldom issue tickets to cars parked on footpaths.
