Appendix 1: Land Transport Rule Setting of Speed Limits 2003 (Rule 54001)
Land Transport Rule: Setting Speed Limits 2003 (the Rule)
The Land Transport Rule: Setting Speed Limits (2003) brings together the requirements relating to the
setting of speed limits form on New Zealand roads as set out in the Land Transport Act 1998. The
principal Rule establishes procedures whereby road controlling authorities may set enforceable speed
limits on roads within their jurisdictions.
“Section 2.6 - Role of road controlling authorities in reviewing and setting speed limits
A road controlling authority, for roads under its jurisdiction:
(a)
must consider the safe and appropriate speed limit for a road with regard to the function,
nature and use of the road, its environment, land use patterns and whether the road is in an
urban traffic area or a rural area;
(b)
must review speed limits in accordance with this rule;
(c)
must set speed limits in accordance with this rule;
(d)
may set speed limits for designated locations, as specified in section 4.”
“Section 3.1 - Calculation of speed limits
A road controlling authority must apply Speed Limits New Zealand to determine the calculated speed
limit when reviewing or setting a permanent or holiday speed limit and when reviewing or designating
an urban traffic area, unless the relevant road is in a location to which section 4 applies, in which case
a road controlling authority may apply Speed Limits New Zealand.”
“Section 3.2(8) - Discretion to review speed limits
A road controlling authority may review a speed limit if:
(a)
it decides to do so; or
(b)
it receives a written request to do so from a person, organisation or road user group affected
by that speed limit, including:
(i)
a road controlling authority that is responsible for roads that join, or are near, roads
under the jurisdiction of the road controlling authority to which the request is directed;
(ii)
a territorial authority that is affected by the existing speed limit;
(iii)
the Commissioner”
“Section 4.1 - Setting a permanent speed limit for a road in a designated location
4.1(4) A road controlling authority must, before setting a speed limit for a road in a designated
location, consult with the [Agency], the Commissioner and other persons who the road
Waipa District Council Speed Limits Bylaw 2016
Page 7 of 27
16014754
controlling authority considers to be affected by the proposed speed limit and give them a
reasonable time to make submissions on the proposal.”
“Section 7.1 - Consultation
7.1(1)
Before setting a speed limit, or designating or changing an urban traffic area, a road
controlling authority must consult with persons that may be affected by the proposed speed
limit, in accordance with this section, unless section 4, section 5 or section 10 applies.
7.1(2)
The persons that must be consulted in accordance with 7.1(1) are:
(a)
road controlling authorities that are responsible for roads that join, or are near, the
road on which the speed limit is to be set or changed; and
(b)
a territorial authority that is affected by the existing or proposed speed limit; and
(c)
any local community that the road controlling authority considers to be affected by the
proposed speed limit; and
(d)
the Commissioner; and
(e)
the Chief Executive Officer of the New Zealand Automobile Association Incorporated;
and
(f)
the Chief Executive Officer of the Road Transport Forum New Zealand; and
any other organisation or road user group that the road controlling authority considers
to be affected by the proposed speed limit; and
(g)
7.1(3)
the Director.
A road controlling authority must consult by writing to the persons in 7.1(2) advising them of
the proposed speed limit and giving them a reasonable time, which must be specified in the
letter, to make submissions on the proposal.”
“Section 7.2 - Decision-making procedures and notification of set speed limits
7.2(1)
A road controlling authority that is empowered by an enactment to make bylaws must set a
speed limit under this rule by making a bylaw in accordance with that enactment, unless
section 5 applies.”
“Section 7.3 - Registration of all speed limits except temporary speed limits
7.3(1)
7.3(2)
A road controlling authority must establish and maintain a register of speed limits that
records all speed limits, except temporary speed limits, for the roads under its jurisdiction,
including:
(a)
speed limits set under this rule; and
(b)
urban traffic areas designated under this rule; and
(c)
speed limits saved under section 4 of the Transport Amendment Act 1997 that have
been validated under this rule in accordance with section 10.
Information recorded in the register of speed limits must include:
Page 8 of 27
16014754
Waipa District Council Speed Limits Bylaw 2016
(a)
a full description of the roads or area to which the speed limit applies, including
references to details of maps or other documents as appropriate; and
(b)
the speed limit; and
(c)
for a variable speed limit, the conditions under which the speed limit changes; and
(d)
the date on which the speed limit came into force; and
(e)
a record of the decision-making procedures of the road controlling authority carried
out in accordance with 7.2(1); and
(f)
for an urban traffic area in 10.1(1) or a saved speed limit in 10.1(2) that has been
designated or validated in accordance with 10.1(3), a reference to the previous
enactment under which the speed limit was set.
7.3(3)
A road controlling authority must make the register of speed limits available for inspection by
members of the public, at reasonable times, on request.
7.3(4)
Details of a speed limit that has been superseded by a new speed limit under this rule must
be retained on the register of speed limits for at least seven years from the date on which
the new speed limit came into force.”
“Section 10.1 Designating urban traffic areas and validating saved speed limits
10.1(1) A road controlling authority must designate an area in which roads are subject to a 50-km/h
speed limit, saved under section 4 of the Transport Amendment Act 1997, as an urban traffic
area.
10.1(2) A road controlling authority must validate all speed limits saved under section 4 of the
Transport Amendment Act 1997 other than:
(a)
50-km/h speed limits on roads within a designated urban traffic area in 10.1(1); and
(b)
100-km/h speed limits on roads within a rural area.”
