Insertion
After regulation 57 the following regulation is inserted:
57A Stopping public buses in bus zones and at bus stops“ (NSW cl 81)
“(1) The driver of a public bus must not stop in a bus zone unless the driver—
(a)is dropping off, or picking up, passengers; or
(b)is stopping for a bus service that is conducted according to regular routes and timetables.
Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.
“(2) Subregulation (1) does not apply to the driver of a public bus that is not permitted to stop in the bus zone by information on or with the bus zone sign applying to the bus zone.
Note The driver would contravene rule 183 of the Australian Road Rules.
“(3) The driver of a public bus must not stop at a bus stop, or on the road, within 20m before a sign on the road that indicates the bus stop, and 10m after the sign, unless the driver—
(a)stops at a place on a length of road, or in an area, to which a parking control sign applies and the driver is permitted to stop at that place under the Australian Road Rules; or
(b)is dropping off, or picking up, passengers; or
(c)is stopping for a bus service that is conducted according to regular routes and timetables.
Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.
“(4) In this regulation:
bus stop has the same meaning as in rule 195 of the Australian Road Rules.
bus zone—see the Australian Road Rules, rule 183.
bus zone sign—see the Australian Road Rules, Schedules 2 and 3 and rules 314 to 316.”.
Definitions for ch 4 (MTR reg 26P)
Regulation 102 is amended by omitting the definition of digital camera detection device and substituting the following definition:
digital camera detection device means the camera detection device known as LaserCam 2000, which includes, as a component, a laser speed measuring device.
Major testing of traffic offence detection devices (MTR reg 26R)
Regulation 104 is amended—
(a)by omitting subregulation (1) and substituting the following subregulation:
“(1) A laser speed measuring device, a radar speed measuring device, and the laser speed measuring device component of a digital camera detection device, must be tested in accordance with this regulation at least once in every 12 months; and
(b)by omitting from subregulation (3) “a digital camera detection device or laser speed measuring device” and substituting “a laser speed measuring device, or the laser speed measuring device component of a digital camera detection device,”; and
(c)by omitting paragraph (5) (b) and substituting the following paragraph:
“(b)if a seal on the laser speed measuring device or radar speed measuring device has been damaged or removed—seal the device.”; and
(d)by adding at the end the following subregulation:
“(6) For this regulation—
(a)it is sufficient for the laser speed measuring device component of a digital camera detection device to be tested separately from the other components of the digital camera detection device; and
(b)it is not necessary for the other components of the digital camera detection device to be tested.”.
Substitution
Regulation 108 is repealed and the following regulation is substituted:
108 Meaning of codes on images “(MTR reg 26X)
“(1) In the header to an image produced by a digital camera detection device, the characters (whether numbers, letters or both) immediately after ‘Device:’ is the code for the laser speed measuring device component of the digital camera detection device that took the image.
Example
‘Device: 012409’ in the header to an image indicates that the code of the laser speed measuring device component of the digital camera detection device that took the image is 012409.
“(2) In the header to an image produced by a digital camera detection device, the numbers immediately after ‘Location: SLS’ are the code for the place where the image was taken (the location code).
Example
‘Location: SLS 0015’ in the header to an image indicates that the code for the place where the image was taken is 0015 (see Schedule 1, item 15).
“(3) A location code has the meaning given by Schedule 1.
Example
The location code ‘0015’ in the header to an image indicates that the image was taken at Kingsford Smith Drive between Kuringa Drive and Spalding Street (see Schedule 1, item 15).
“(4) For subregulation (3) and Schedule 1, if a road (however described) mentioned in an item of Schedule 1 intersects with another road (however described) more than once, the word ‘(north)’ or ‘(south)’ is included after the name of the road to indicate the intersection relevant to the meaning of the location code.
Example
The location code ‘0003’ in the header to an image means that the image was taken on Athllon Drive between Beasley Street ‘(south)’ and Sulwood Drive (see Schedule 1, item 3). As Beasley Street intersects Athllon Drive more than once, the word ‘south’ indicates that the southern intersection is the relevant intersection.
“(5) In the header to an image produced by a digital camera detection device, the numbers immediately after ‘Operator: op’ are the code for the person responsible for the use of the device when the image was taken.
Example
‘Operator: op0002’ in the header to an image indicates that the code for the person responsible for the use of the device when the image was taken is 0002.”.
Modification of pt 10 of the Act
Part 10 of the Act is modified by inserting the following section after section 49:
49A What is a camera detection device?“ (MTA s 180ZE)
“(1) Despite sub-subparagraph 23 (2) (b) (i) (A), the image of a vehicle taken by a device complies with that sub-subparagraph if the image (either by itself or with other images taken by the device) indicates (by a code or other information) the speed measuring device component of the device instead of the digital camera detection device.
“(2) This section expires on 1 January 2001.”.
