Kia Ora Waka Kotahi,

 

What are the rules and regs around vehicle engine braking in the Auckland
City centre.

We have multiple complaints around this practice in  Aotearoa's most
highly residential areas - Beach Road, The Strand, Quay Street, Anzac Ave,
Symonds Street. The over dimension trucks can be particularly noisy and
often journeys at night time.

 

What are the rules how are they enforced?

Have any infringements been issued And please provide data on any
infringements issued.

There was a  trial on cameras
[6]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

Can you advise on the results of this and what has been implemented in the
city centre as a result.

 

Ngâ mihi,

 

Adam Parkinson

On 15/02/2024 you asked for information relating to engine braking through
Auckland City.

 

We have transferred your request in part as Auckland Transport do not hold
the information.  We believe questions 1 and 2 of your request align more
closely with the functions of Auckland Council and have transferred it to
them for their response.

 

3. Have any infringements been issued and please provide data on any
infringements issued?

 

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you requested, I am
therefore refusing your request under section 17(g) of the LGOIMA because
the information is not held by AT.

 

4. There was a trial on cameras, can you advise on the results of this and
what has been implemented in the city centre as a result.

 

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you requested, I am
therefore refusing your request under section 17(g) of the LGOIMA because
the information is not held by AT.

 

 

We understand that this isn’t the outcome you hoped for.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review how we’ve responded to
your official information request. You can contact the Ombudsman at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

The part of your request about engine braking was transferred to Auckland
Council by Auckland Transport, who had, in turn, received it from Waka
Kotahi (NZTA). We have discussed your request with our Regulatory
Enforcement Team, who have confirmed that Auckland Council does not deal
with complaints about engine braking. As both AT and NZTA also do not hold
this information, perhaps the next agency to try is the New Zealand
Police. Would you like us to transfer your request to them? Or would you
prefer to contact them directly yourself?
