Police have released the names of the two men killed when they were struck by a bus in Papatoetoe on Saturday night.
They were Taylor Charles King, 23, from Papatoetoe, and 34-year-old Jeremy Tokotai Kaukasi.
Their deaths have been referred to the coroner.
Kaukasi's sister said he was an amazing big brother. One of his favourite things was taking his nieces and nephews to school and to sports games. He also loved his Nana and was one of her favourites.
"When you get the green light [on Puhinui Rd turning onto Wyllie Rd] you aren't looking for pedestrians.
"Some cars don't even stop for the red arrow. And people don't look as they cross. It is a really dangerous intersection."
A man staying across the road was not home on Saturday night, but said it was a "dangerous intersection".
"There have been accidents, but none this bad."
Standing at the scene cars, trucks and buses can be seen whizzing around the corner, left off Puhinui Rd on to Wyllie Rd.
There is a pedestrian crossing, but any pedestrians not using the crossing further around the corner would not be able to see vehicles coming, nor those vehicles see them.
