Road Transport (General) Amendment (No Standing Signs) Regulation 2008 (NSW)

2008 No 527

New South Wales

Road Transport (General) Amendment

(No Standing Signs) Regulation 2008

under the

Road Transport (General) Act 2005

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Road Transport (General) Act 2005.

MICHAEL DALEY, M.P.,

Minister for Roads

Explanatory note
Rule 167–1 (1) of the Road Rules 2008 (the Rules) provides (as an exception to rule 167 of the Rules that relates to no stopping signs) that a driver is permitted to stop on a length of road or in an area to which a no stopping sign applies (being a sign on which the words “no standing” appear) for the purpose of dropping off, or picking up, passengers. Rule 167–1 was included in the Rules to allow for the gradual phasing out of no standing signs to bring New South Wales in line with the rest of the country and the Australian Road Rules.
The object of this Regulation is to amend Schedule 3 (Penalty notice offences) to the Road Transport (General) Regulation 2005 to make amendments that are consequential on the phasing out of no standing signs.
Rule 167–1 (2) of the Rules provides that subrule (1) ceases to have effect on 1 December 2008. Section 71 of the Interpretation Act 1987 (when read with section 5 (3) of that Act) results in rule 167–1 (1) ceasing to have effect at the end of that day. Accordingly, this Regulation commences at the beginning of 2 December 2008.
This Regulation also effects minor law revision by correcting a cross-reference.
This Regulation is made under the Road Transport (General) Act 2005, including sections 10

(the general regulation-making power) and 183 (Penalty notices for certain offences).
