# Traffic Signals urgent safety issue, 286 Cranford St, Canterbury, Christchurch 8052, New Zealand

Christchurch · filed 11 February 2026 · report 7718281
https://www.chch.live/report/7718281

> The pedestrian crossing signal is not working, it goes red when pressed and then times out before stopping the traffic and turning green to cross. Sometimes this will happen up to 6 times before it works and you can cross. It is only when crossing from the Cranford oak motel side heading to the GJ Gardner side of Cranford street. It’s a very busy road and lots of children crossing to day cares and schools.
