Pursuant to section 61 (3) of the Transit New Zealand Act 1989 and section 72 (1) (j) of the Transport Act 1962, Transit New Zealand hereby makes the following bylaw.

Bylaw

1. Title and commencement—This bylaw may be cited as the Transit New Zealand (Ngauranga Gorge Variable Speed Limit) Bylaw 2000/13 and shall come into force 28 days after the date of its publication in the New Zealand Gazette.

2. Interpretation—In this bylaw:

“Variable speed limit” means the speed limit imposed from time to time by Transit New Zealand in accordance with this bylaw;

“Variable speed limit sign” means a sign which meets the criteria set out in or under the Traffic Regulations 1976.

“Vehicle” has the same meaning as in the Land Transport Act 1998.

3. Discretion to impose variable speed limit—(1) Transit New Zealand may, from time to time, impose a variable speed limit for the section of State highway described in the Schedule to this bylaw if, in the opinion of Transit New Zealand, it is expedient to do so having regard to:

(a) actual or likely traffic congestion or weather conditions; or

(b) other actual or likely traffic hazards.

(2) A variable speed limit may apply to vehicles travelling in one or both directions and different variable speed limits may apply in respect of different directions.

4. Variable speed limit—(1) The variable speed limit imposed under clause 3:

(a) must be a speed limit of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100 kilometres per hour;

(b) must be indicated on one or more activated variable speed limit signs; and

(c) applies whenever the variable speed limit signs are activated.
