Allow people walking and cycling to more easily continue to their desired destination by incorporating crossing on all legs of an intersection.
Benefits
- Increases direct, convenient active transport connections consistent with the Road User Space Allocation Policy
- Reduces unsafe behaviour of pedestrians crossing an unsignalised leg out of frustration
Considerations
- Crossings should incorporate elements for all ability of users including kerb ramps
- Provision of crossings on all legs is the default at all new signalised intersections
- Older installations may have conduits installed so that retrofitting signals to legs where they are omitted may not be highly complex
- Introduction of pedestrian legs may introduce real or perceived delay for other road users

Example
A previously omitted fourth crossing has been added at the intersection of Woodville and Guildford Roads in recognition that the intersection is within the walking catchment of Guildford Station.
