Explanatory Note

This note is not part of the bylaw, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

Those parts of the bylaw that are still relevant will be retained in new bylaws to be made with effect from the date that this bylaw takes effect; and

(2) Revokes Transit New Zealand Bylaws, relating to speed restrictions on sections of State highways, that have been updated and consolidated into one bylaw with effect from the date that this bylaw takes effect.
