Vehicle Lighting
In accordance with section 161 (2) of the Land Transport Act 1998, the Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA), on behalf of the Minister of Transport, gives notice of his intention to make a rule concerning vehicle lighting, and advises that the proposed Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting (Rule 32005) is now available for public comment.
The purpose of the Vehicle Lighting Rule is to consolidate the safety requirements for vehicle lighting components currently in the Traffic Regulations 1976, as well as to propose some changes. The draft rule aims at ensuring that lighting equipment fitted to vehicles is installed correctly, meets acceptable levels of safety and complies with appropriate standards.
A copy of the draft rule may be obtained by calling the LTSA Help Desk on Freephone 0800 699 000 or by visiting the LTSA web site at
http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/consultation/vehicle-lighting-rule/index.html
The draft rule is also available for viewing at the LTSA's seven regional offices.
Those who have registered their interest in this rule have been advised of the availability of the draft rule.
Submissions on draft Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Lighting close on Tuesday, 23 December 2003.
