No. 145

Traffic Signs—Permanent Warning Signs

NOTICE

PURSUANT to regulation 129 (6) of the Traffic Regulations 1976, the Minister of Transport authorises the erection and maintenance of Permanent Signs, as described in the Schedule, for the control of traffic by an authority or person authorised by regulation 124 of the Traffic Regulations 1976.

SCHEDULE

DESCRIPTION OF TRAFFIC SIGNS

In this Schedule—

All measurements are shown in millimetres.
The letter “(r)” after a colour indicates that the colour should either be made of retro-reflective material or be internally or externally illuminated so as to be clearly visible to approaching drivers.
The size of lettering and numerals is shown by two figures separated by a diagonal slash. The first figure shows the letter height in millimetres and the second the stroke width in millimetres.
The dimensions of signs are minima, and may be larger with dimensions increased approximately in proportion.

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
