Limits of temporary traffic management on State Highways
Anatole Sergejew made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
New Zealand Transport Agency did not have the information requested.
From: Anatole Sergejew
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
It is my understanding that Temporary Traffic Management is used in two situations:
1. During road construction or maintenance
2. When existing traffic provisions need extra traffic management for special events
My question is:
Is there any limit to the frequency that is acceptable to WK-NZTA to use traffic management on a State Highway for special events, at or above which permanent traffic management measures should be used instead?
I expect that if a special event occurs, say, 5 days every year then temporary traffic management on a State Highway to manage these events is appropriate, but what if it occurs 50 days every year? Or 150 days every year? or 300 days a year?
There is no answer that I can find to this question in the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management.
Thanking you in anticipation
Yours sincerely,
Anatole Sergejew
