Pursuant to subclause 5.4(1A) of Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004 and a delegation from the Waka Kotahi, NZ Transport Agency, I, Glenn Bunting, Network Manager, authorise the installation and maintenance of the road markings described in the Schedule 1, in accordance with the conditions set out in this notice:

Conditions

1. New Pedestrian Crossings or Remarking Following Resealing

As of the 18 January 2021 any new pedestrian crossing installed or remarked following resealing should be in the M1-1.3, 600 x 600 (new format) as set out in Schedule 1 of this notice.

2. Remarking Existing Pedestrian Crossings

As of the 18 January 2021 all existing M1-1, 300 x 600 pedestrian crossings as set out according to the Land Transport Rule (Traffic Control Devices) 2004, Schedule 2, when being re marked for maintenance, should be remarked in the M1-1.2, 450 x 450 (interim format) as set out in Schedule 1 of this notice.

Schedule 1

M1-1.3 Pedestrian Crossing Marking (New Format)

Colour: white (reflectorised)

M1-1.2 Pedestrian Crossing Marking (Interim Format)

Colour: white (reflectorised)

All measurements are shown in millimetres, unless otherwise indicated.

Signed at Wellington this 12th day of January 2021.

GLENN BUNTING, Manager Network Safety, Waka Kotahi.

Note: Marking M1-1.3 harmonises New Zealand with Australian practice for marking pedestrian crossings using alternate 600mm dimensions. This should be installed at all new crossing installations or after maintenance work that requires new road markings.

As an interim marking M1-1.2 may be introduced by amending marking M1-4 through the addition to the marking stripe width by 150mm and thereby reducing the gap by the corresponding amount.
