Cycle Path and Shared Path Markings Trial

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, authorise the installation and maintenance of cycle and pedestrian pavement markings:

  1. for the purpose described in Schedule 1;
  2. in the form and layout set out in Schedule 2;
  3. at the locations stated in Schedule 3;
  4. for the period specified in Schedule 4; and
  5. subject to the evaluation outlined in Schedule 5.

The cycle and pedestrian pavement markings may be installed for the purpose of evaluating their use and the trial will be called the “cycle and shared path markings trial”.

Schedule 1—Purpose of trial

The purpose of the trial is to:

  1. evaluate the effectiveness and safety of identifying cycle paths and shared paths with pavement markings only, as an alternative to installing signs and markings as required in clause 11.4 of the Rule;
  2. enable the use of a cycle symbol with dimensions that are different from those specified in diagram M2-3 in Schedule 2 of the Rule to improve the shape of the symbol from a pedestrian’s point of view;
  3. assess cyclists’ and pedestrians’ understanding and use of cycle paths and shared paths that are identified with pavement markings only.

Schedule 2—Form and layout of cycle and shared path markings

a. Cycle paths, used by cyclists only, must be marked with the cycle symbol in diagram M2-3 of Schedule 2 of the Rule.

b. Shared paths, used by pedestrians, cycles, wheeled recreational devices or mobility devices, must be marked with the cycle symbol in diagram M2-3 and the pedestrian symbol in diagram M2-4 of Schedule 2 of the Rule, subject to the variation authorised in Schedule 2(d) of this notice.

c. Shared paths where pedestrians, cycles, wheeled recreational devices or mobility devices are restricted to a specific side or part of the path, or where the path is separated for users travelling in different directions, must be marked to indicate the nature of the restriction with appropriate markings conforming with Schedule 2 of the Rule and with the cycle symbol in diagram M2-3 and the pedestrian symbol in diagram M2-4 of Schedule 2 of the Rule, subject to the variation authorised in Schedule 2(d) of this notice.

d. On shared paths, the longitudinal dimension of the cycle symbol in diagram M2-3 of Schedule 2 of the Rule may be reduced in proportion to its lateral dimension so that the wheels appear circular to a pedestrian approaching the cycle marking.
