Part 2 Schedules

Schedule 1 Amendments to Schedule 1 of Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004

Schedule 2 New items inserted in Schedule 2 of Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004

Objective of the Rule

Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices Amendment 2019 (the amendment Rule) amends Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004 (the Traffic Control Devices Rule). The Traffic Control Devices Rule specifies the requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of traffic control devices, and sets out the functions and responsibilities of road controlling authorities in providing traffic control devices to give effect to their decisions on the control of traffic.

The objectives of the amendment Rule are to:

update a reference to section 8 of Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2003 with a reference to section 9 of Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2017:
clarify that the lines guiding pedestrians at pedestrian traffic signals must be white and 100mm in width:
allow for school patrol signs to be stored at a school crossing point, provided that they cannot be seen by oncoming motorists when they are not in use:
enable either signs or markings to be installed to identify shared paths for cyclists and pedestrians:
replace clause 11.7 (relating to hand-held stop signs) with a new clause 11.7 allowing for stop signs that are manually controlled by a person, but not physically held by that individual:
repair an inconsistency in the Rule by clarifying that barrier arms at level crossings must consist of red and white alternate bands:
change the operation of parking zone controls so that road controlling authorities can use the mechanism for areas such as carparks, provided it will be clear to persons using vehicles that the parking control applies:
allow parking zone controls to have a time limit restriction only:
provide for bus stops up to 30 m in length to be delineated by a marked outline and a single sign, rather than the 2 signs required currently:
in the definition of traffic sign, replace a reference to a hand-held stop sign with manually-controlled stop sign:
insert a definition of bus-only lane, clarifying that only buses can use such lanes, and not cycles, mopeds, or motorcycles:
insert a definition of heavy vehicle lane, clarifying that only heavy vehicles can use such lanes, and not cycles, mopeds, or motorcycles:
revoke the sign related to limited speed zones (which no longer exist in law):
clarify that only one vehicle per lane or line of traffic may proceed during each green phase of a ramp signal display:
clarify that an emergency stopping lane may be used either by people wanting to stop in an emergency and by people in a particular class or classes of vehicle, as indicated by the sign:
provide that small passenger service vehicle stands may continue to display “taxi stand” signs, recognising that “taxi” is a better-understood term than “small passenger service vehicle” or “SPSV”:
update the specifications of a number of road signs in Schedule 1 of the Rule:
add new signs into Schedule 1 of the Rule:
add new markings into Schedule 2 of the Rule.

Extent of consultation

For the purposes of consultation, amendments proposed to the Traffic Control Devices Rule and 14 other Land Transport Rules were combined into a single Rule, Land Transport Rule: Regulatory Stewardship (Omnibus) Amendment 2018 (the Omnibus Amendment Rule). Following consultation, the provisions in the Omnibus Amendment Rule were split into separate amendment Rules.

The NZ Transport Agency sent details of the amendment proposals by letter or email to approximately 2544 groups and individuals who had registered an interest in the Rules to be amended. The Omnibus Amendment Rule was made available through the NZ Transport Agency’s Contact Centre and, together with Questions and Answers, was also available on the NZ Transport Agency’s website. The availability of the amendment proposals for comment was publicised in the daily newspapers in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. It was also notified in the New Zealand Gazette on 23 July 2018.

The NZ Transport Agency received 41 submissions on the Omnibus Amendment Rule, of which 21 commented on the proposed amendments to the Traffic Control Devices Rule.

The submissions received were taken into account in finalising the draft Rule following which it was submitted to the Associate Minister of Transport for signing.
