Part 13: Parking control

Last updated: December 2007. This document ceases to be a controlled document when printed. Please refer to the current version at www.landtransport.govt.nz

10  Temporary traffic management

Wherever temporary parking restrictions are required, specific signs should be installed to reflect the changes, with the existing signs covered up or removed.

Any changes to the normal operating procedures of the road will need to have a temporary traffic management plan (TMP) approved by the RCA. In most cases, when developing a TMP, reference should be made to Transit New Zealand’s Code of practice for temporary traffic management (CoPTTM) or RCA Forum CoPTTM Local roads supplement.

10.1  Temporary parking restrictions

Temporary parking restrictions should be installed in accordance with the approved TMP. The TMP must consider and relocate any loss of special parking areas (ie taxis, buses, disabled parking) elsewhere.

10.2  Reserved parking for work-related activities

Private organisations undertaking site-specific works requiring the removal of dedicated parking, especially within busy urban environments, should apply to the local authority seeking to reserve parking spaces elsewhere.

10.3  Parking for recurring events

Where there are particular sites that have recurring events (such as sports arenas, parks and concert facilities), there should be some arrangement made with the local authority for a permanent strategy to outline the parking issues at the site as well as ways in which parking can be controlled and enforced. This can be part of a total event management strategy and should include consultation with the local authority, Police and residents/business community to minimise the impact during the event.

Any permanent signing must be supplemented by means by which the public are aware of the day and time restrictions that may apply.
