Another example of a route used by a lot of pedestrians and cyclists yet it has tiny footpaths, no cycle lanes, and huge wide lanes which cars which use to drive far to fast. When will AT start to proactively improve Auckland rather than simply widen roads endlessly?
The building code is a 1000mm railing for any falls over 1 metre. Which is pretty low, really. Apartments are typically the bare minimum, and they feel too low for someone of my height (1.87m).
I’m sure those railings are at least the legal minimum.

How did we miss this?

Because we don’t have a subway?
Yeah, I wish there were bike lanes here! With this shot you can almost forget that there isn’t a motorway OVER the bridge.
I walk over this quite a bit. Are the railings the regulation height? Seem a little low if you walk right next to them…

(The railings on apartment balconies, I mean).
