In accordance with section 161(2) of the Land Transport Act 1998, the NZ Transport Agency, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, gives notice of the Minister’s intention to make
a Rule that proposes amendments to Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004 (Rule 54002) (the Traffic Control Devices Rule), and advises that the draft Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices Amendment [2010] (Rule 54002/4) is available for public comment.
The proposed amendment Rule will allow road controlling authorities to take advantage of a wider range of traffic control devices to implement, improve or maintain safe and efficient traffic management.
The proposed changes will also ensure that the Traffic Control Devices Rule is consistent with the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 and other legislation, update engineering practice and allow the use of some new technologies.

by calling the NZ Transport Agency Contact Centre on freephone 0800 699 000 or is available on the website at
