Pursuant to subclause 3.4(1) of Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004 (the Rule) and a delegation from the NZ Transport Agency, I, Glenn Bunting, Network Manager, hereby authorise the installation and maintenance of variable speed limit signs and active warning signs at rural intersections:

(b) in the form and layout, set out in Schedule 2;
(c) at the locations stated in Schedule 3;

(e) subject to the terms and conditions detailed in Schedule 5.
The active warning signs shall be used for the purpose of evaluating their use and the trial shall be called the "Rural intersection active warning signs trial".
Schedule 1—Purpose of trial
The purpose of the trial is to:
(a) evaluate the effectiveness and safety of variable speed limit signs and active warning signs as an alternative to signs specified in Schedule 1 of the Rule;
(b) assess the effectiveness of supplementary intersection warning signs below variable speed limit signs to explain the reason for a reduced speed limit;
(c) compare the effectiveness of a speed limit sign with the effectiveness of an active intersection warning "SLOW DOWN" sign.
Schedule 2—Form and Layout of Signs
Form
The signs must be as specified in the following descriptions:
Variable speed intersection warning
The speed limit is the number of km/h shown on the sign; combined with an intersection warning to advise drivers that the reduced speed is due to the risk of vehicles crossing or turning at the intersection.
