This register records these speed limits. The bylaw allows the New Plymouth District Council to set or change the enforceable speed limits on roads under its jurisdiction. It does not however allow the Council to set or change the enforceable speed limits on New Zealand Transport Agency (State Highways) roads or other privately owned roads within the Council’s boundary. Designated Urban Traffic Areas The Council can formally resolve built up areas as Designated Urban Traffic Areas. The Council can formally resolve that built up areas are to be Designated Urban Traffic Areas. The default speed limit on the roads within these Designated Urban Traffic Areas is 50 km/h. Designated Urban Traffic Areas are listed in Schedule 5 of the Register. Roads within the Urban Traffic Areas can have a speed limit other than 50 km/h and these limits are set by Council resolution. A speed limit sign is then installed, and the road is recorded in this register and maps. Speed limits on roads outside the Designated Urban Traffic Areas are automatically 100 km/h, unless the Council has set a different speed limit by Council resolution. These different speed limits are made known by installing speed limit signs, and are then recorded in this register and maps. 2 REGISTER OF SPEED LIMITS SCHEDULE 1 Roads that have a speed limit of 10 km/h The roads or areas described in this schedule or as shown on a plan referenced in this schedule are declared to have a speed limit of 10 km/h.
