NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 69 — 29 JUNE 2017

markers representing no-passing lines, between the left lane and the central lane for each direction of
travel, must be illuminated so that they are visible only to traffic travelling in the direction each no-passing line applies to;

iii. when the central section of roadway is operating as an active traffic lane, the white pavement markers
representing flush median diagonal lines must be off; the white pavement markers representing lane
lines may be illuminated or may be off; and the yellow pavement markers representing a no-passing line,
between the single lane for the minor flow of traffic and the central lane, must be illuminated so that
they are visible to traffic travelling in both directions; and

iv. during the change-over period from active traffic lane to flush median, the pavement markers must
operate in the following two stages:

Stage 1: the white pavement markers representing flush median diagonal lines must be off; the white
pavement markers representing lane lines may be illuminated or may be off; and the yellow pavement
markers representing a no-passing line, between the single lane for the minor flow of traffic and the
central lane, must be illuminated so that they are visible to traffic travelling in both directions;

Stage 2: the white pavement markers representing flush median diagonal lines must be off; the white
pavement markers representing lane lines may be illuminated or may be off; and the yellow pavement

Schedule 3—Location

The location approved for this trial is Whangaparaoa Road, Auckland, from Hibiscus Coast Highway to Red Beach
Road.

Schedule 4—Period of trial

The trial may begin after 1 July 2017 and, unless terminated earlier, must end by 31 December 2018.

Schedule 5—Evaluation

An evaluation and analysis must be undertaken as described in the trial application dated February 2017,
received from Auckland Transport. The evaluation must include:

a. An assessment of all road users’ recognition and understanding of the overhead, variable signs, illuminated
pavement markers and painted lines used to identify the central section of the roadway as either a flush
median or a lane available to traffic;

b. measurement of drivers’ compliance with the dynamic lane control system;

c. an assessment of any seasonal effect (such as weather or light variations) on the visibility or legibility of the
pavement markers and signs;

d. analysis of enforcement, conflicts and crashes;

e. analysis of costs, efficiency improvements and other benefits;

f. a summary of feedback received from road users, residents and the general public during the trial;

g. a description of any operational issues which arose during the trial and how they were resolved; and

h. recommendations for improvements or changes that should be made to the form and layout or operation of
the dynamic lane control system.

An interim evaluation report must be sent to me by 30 April 2018 and a final report by 28 February 2019.
