Guidance has been developed to help road controlling authorities (RCAs) interpret and apply the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2024 (the Rule).
This includes providing information to assist RCAs to comply with requirements for speed limit reversals and variable speed limits outside school gates, as outlined in the Rule.
It also includes information to help RCAs if they choose to develop speed management plans (which are optional under the Rule) or speed limit proposals via the alternative method, plus some guidance to assist RCAs to comply with consultation, cost benefit disclosure statements and other Rule requirements.

There is also an optional impact analysis tool developed by the Ministry of Transport and NZTA to assist RCAs to meet cost benefit disclosure statement requirements under the Rule.
