Read the full proposed Cruising and Prohibited Times on Roads Bylaw 2023 [PDF, 157 KB]
What is this?
This bylaw enables us to prohibit cruising on some roads, and to prohibit nighttime access to some roads to reduce the potential for vehicle-based antisocial activities, such as racing and burnouts. We’ve looked at how we can update and improve it and have prepared a replacement bylaw.
How does this affect me?
We plan to:
- Update and modernise the bylaw
- Modify the purpose clause of the prohibited times on roads section in the bylaw to align more effectively with legislation
- Update the exceptions to the nighttime access restrictions to better reflect likely uses, such as rideshare services and deliveries
- Clarify that the bylaw is a “qualifying bylaw” under the Land Transport Act 1998, meaning police can issue warning notices and can seize and impound vehicles for repeated breaches
