New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
If an enforcement officer, acting in the course of his or her official duties, becomes aware of the existence on a road of a hazard to the safety of traffic (whether arising from the nature or condition of a road or otherwise), the officer must—
(a) take such steps as may be reasonably practicable to eliminate or reduce the hazard; and
(b) if it is not reasonably practicable for the officer to eliminate the hazard, as soon as practicable report the existence of the hazard to the road controlling authority with a view to eliminating the hazard.
