Consultation on proposed Traffic and Speed Limit Bylaws
Auckland Transport was established on 1 November 2010 and was given the mandate to make bylaws for roads in Auckland. Auckland Transport proposes two separate bylaws relating to traffic and parking controls and the setting of speed limits for roads under the care, control or management of Auckland Transport in order to specify consistent criteria for the entire Auckland region.
Auckland Transport proposes to replace the bylaws set by previous councils in Auckland that regulate traffic and parking, and speed limits for the roads under the care, control or management of Auckland Transport.
The proposed Traffic Bylaw and Speed Limits Bylaw confirm all existing traffic and parking controls and speed limits in Auckland set under previous bylaws, and provides for resolutions to be made for traffic and parking controls and speed limits on roads. The Speed Limits Bylaw contains a schedule of all the speed limits set by the previous councils in Auckland.
Please note: This consultation relates solely to the content of the proposed bylaws. Consultation is not being undertaken on the existing traffic controls and speed limits as no new traffic or parking controls and speed limits are being made. Separate consultation is undertaken for particular local traffic, parking and speed limit controls.

Legacy bylaws
Bylaws were made by Auckland’s seven local councils before Auckland Council and Auckland Transport were established.
Going forward, Auckland Transport will be responsible for bylaws that are necessary for the management of local roads and public transport. All other transport related bylaws (property development, liquor bans, naming roads) will be managed by Auckland Council.
All bylaws made by Auckland's local councils will remain in place until Auckland Transport or Auckland Council has an opportunity to review them. If you are searching for a bylaw made by a local council, please use the table below.
