Roading

We maintain all roads in the Kāpiti Coast District, except State Highway 1.

We also play a vital role in traffic management and road safety across the district, including speed management, traffic calming, traffic counts (volume and speed), visibility, traffic management plans, pedestrian safety, cycleways and community transport like school travel planning.

Report faults and visibility issues

Spotted a traffic light fault, a visibility or line of sight issue when driving? Contact us.

Visibility must be maintained around all driveways, intersections, and overhanging vegetation.
