[Revoked]
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which are to come into force on 1 February 1977, consolidate with amendments the Traffic Regulations 1956 and the amendments of those regulations.
The 1956 regulations have been rearranged, particularly those relating to driving rules, and in some cases have been redrafted so as to express in simpler language the obligations of motor drivers and others.
The principal changes are as follows:
(1) Regulations 4 to 8 replace the former provisions relating to keeping to the left, driving in lanes, changing direction, and overtaking, and take into account more fully the marking of lanes on roads, and define more particularly the circumstances under which different lanes may be used. Regulation 7 includes a provision requiring vehicles turning to the right to move to the centre of the road in all cases, but permits a driver, in the interests of safety, to move to he side of the road and stop before making a turn.
(2) Regulation 9 replaces the former provisions relating to a driver's obligations to give way at intersections. Subclauses (1) and (2) prescribe without material change the former provisions relating to stop signs and give way signs, and subclauses (3) and (4) re-enact the right-hand rule in simpler form but without altering its effect, except that subclause (4)(b) provides that a driver turning left must give way to a vehicle crossing the intersection from the opposite direction and turning to its right. The give way to the right provisions also apply where both vehicles are at stop signs or are both at give-way signs or are both turning right.
(3) Regulation 12 amends the former provisions relating to pedestrian crossings, and permits a driver to pass over a pedestrian crossing that is being used by a pedestrian provided he passes over the crossing at least 4 m in front of the pedestrian.
(4) Regulation 14 permits narrow and slow-moving invalid carriages to be driven on the footpath.
(5) Regulation 15 extends the former requirements as to drivers' signals, and requires signals to be given when changing lanes or turning left.
(6) Regulation 18 rewrites the former provisions as to traffic signals in the form of lights, in order to apply to the design of traffic signals now commonly in use.
(7) Regulation 21 brings together the former provisions as to speed limits. A general open road speed limit of 80 kilometres an hour is fixed.
(8) Regulation 22 relates to stopping and following distances. Subclause (4) is a new provision prescribing the minimum distances to be observed by motor vehicles following other vehicles.
(9) Regulation 28 replaces the former provisions relating to the emission of smoke or vapour, and includes a new provision in subclause (2) specifying the method of measuring smoke or vapour.
(10) Regulation 29 relates to noise, and includes a new provision that from a date to be fixed by the Minister of Transport new vehicles are to comply with the standards set out in Schedule 1.
(11) Regulation 49 includes a new provision empowering the Secretary for Transport to issue permits for excess loads, even though the vehicle does not travel beyond the boundary of the district of one local authority.
(12) Part 7 relates to vehicle equipment, and some of the former provisions have been re-written in order to conform to equipment normally fitted to recent models of motor vehicles. In particular, lighting standards which are now in practice fitted to recent models are made compulsory for all new vehicles, but existing vehicles are not affected.
(13) Regulation 63(3) requires new heavy motor vehicles (except trailers) exceeding 9.2m in length to be equipped with additional direction-indicator lamps.
(14) Regulation 64 requires new 2-axled trailers and articulated vehicles exceeding, in each case, 9.2m in length to carry additional side lamps, and also requires certain classes of motor vehicles to be equipped with lamps on the cab roof.
(15) Regulation 73 includes a new requirement that all windows of new vehicles and all replacement glazing of existing vehicles must be of safety glass.
(16) Regulations 84 and 85 replace the former provisions relating to the issue of warrants of fitness, and extend them to certificates of fitness also. Regulation 84(8) is new, and requires testing authorities to keep a record of all warrants of fitness issued within the preceding 6 months.
(17) Part 10, relating to traffic islands and road markings, is mainly new. It replaces the former provisions relating to safety zones, and prescribes the requirements to be followed by controlling authorities in the creation of traffic islands, lane-usage markings, warnings of stop signs and give-way signs, no stopping lines, special parking areas, and no-passing lines.
(18) Part 11, relating to traffic signals, is new, and prescribes the requirements to be followed by controlling authorities in the erection of traffic signals.
(19) Part 12 replaces, with considerable amendment, the provisions of Part 10 of the 1956 regulations relating to traffic signs. Signs are divided into the following classes:
(a) Regulatory signs.
(b) Parking signs.
(c) Warning signs.
(d) Pedestrian signs.
(e) Information signs.
(f) Vehicle-mounted signs.
The various signs are no longer described by diagrams in the regulations themselves, but descriptions of the signs appear in Schedule 4, which prescribes the colours to be used and the minimum dimensions of the signs and of letters and numerals used. These descriptions follow those of the National Roads Board Traffic Signs Manual, and will enable controlling authorities to use that manual in providing traffic signs.
(20) Regulation 136 (offences) includes the following new offences:
(a) With intent to deceive, displaying on a motor vehicle any altered warrant of certificate or certificate of fitness or other document issued under the regulations (para (c)). The former provision related only to the person making the alteration.
(b) Failing to comply with the directions given by any traffic sign or road marking duly erected or made, or doing any act prohibited by such a sign or marking (para. (f)).
Date of notification in Gazette: 12 August 1976.
