Transport organisations are raising concerns about proposed raised crossings on Wellington's Thorndon Quay.

Wellington City Council is planning five raised signalised crossings along a 1.7 kilometre stretch of the central city road.

Freight lobby group Transporting New Zealand has joined forces with Fire and Emergency, the AA, New Zealand Heavy Haulage, and the Bus and Coach Association in calling on the council to rethink those plans.

The group's chief executive Dom Kalasih told Ryan Bridge the raised crossings will cause major issues for trucks and other heavy vehicles.

“Dare I say it, we’re just carrying freight. Think about all the people and buses and ambulances – people could be on their way to hospital.”
