Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits Amendment 2019 (the amendment Rule) amends Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2017 (the Setting of Speed Limits Rule). The Setting of Speed Limits Rule sets out the roles and responsibilities of the NZ Transport Agency and road controlling authorities for reviewing and setting speed limits, and establishes procedures and requirements whereby road controlling authorities may set enforceable speed limits on roads within their jurisdiction.
The objective of the amendment Rule is to replace the term “holiday speed limit” with “seasonal speed limit”, to remove any perception that holiday speed limits can only lawfully be in force on statutory holidays.
For the purposes of consultation, amendments proposed to the Setting of Speed Limits 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 received 41 submissions on the Omnibus Amendment Rule, of which 10 commented on the proposed amendments to the Setting of Speed Limits Rule.
This Rule is Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits Amendment 2019.
This Rule amends Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2017.
