Traffic Bylaw 2015

Where the Traffic Bylaw applies

The bylaw covers traffic management in public places, like:

• parks
• beaches
• off-street parking facilities (like at libraries and community centres)
• council-owned car parking buildings.

What the Traffic Bylaw does

The bylaw:

• enables the designation of roads as one-way
• enables vehicles to be prohibited or restricted in public places where necessary
• enables the setting of conditions of use of parking places
• enables the reservation of parking places for people with disabilities
• prohibits people from parking in public places not designed or constructed to accommodate a parked vehicle
• prohibits broken-down vehicles being left in public places for more than a week
• enables the setting of speed limits.

The bylaw does not cover:

• parking permits in residential streets
• privately owned car parking facilities or car parking buildings
• sale of vehicles on the side of the road
• most roads in Auckland.

These matters and speed limits are addressed in Auckland Transport's bylaws.
