Making By-laws regulating Traffic on all Government Roads.

IN pursuance and in exercise of the powers conferred by section 130 of “The Public Works Act, 1894,” and its amendments, I, William Hall-Jones, the Minister for Public Works, in respect of all Government roads, do hereby make the following by-laws relating generally to the haulage by bullocks on all Government roads, and do hereby declare that all by-laws heretofore made in respect of any Government road shall be read subject to these by-laws.

1. The use of bullocks as traction animals on any Government road is prohibited for the period from 1st May to 1st November in any year, except as hereinafter provided.

2. In any case where the Minister for Public Works is of opinion that it is necessary for the purpose of carting provisions to authorise the use of bullocks as traction animals on any of the said roads, he may authorise permission to be given in writing.

3. Such permission shall not authorise the use of bullocks as traction animals for a longer period nor for any other purpose than is expressly stated therein.

4. Nothing hereinbefore contained shall authorise the cartage of anything hauled by bullocks on the said roads which weighs more than half a ton to each pair of wheels.

5. If any person shall commit a breach of any of the foregoing by-laws he shall be liable upon conviction for such breach to a penalty of £5: Provided that the Court before which proceedings may be taken in respect of such breach may, if it thinks fit, impose such lower penalty as it may think adequate to the particular case.

As witness my hand, this 29th day of May, 1905.
