The Act

Part 6 – Pavement Parking, Double Parking and Parking at Dropped Kerbs

Enforcement of parking prohibitions

Power to install approved devices– section 60

379.Subsection (1) confers power on a traffic authority to install and maintain “approved devices” on a road in connection with the detection of a contravention of the pavement parking prohibition, the double parking prohibition or the dropped footway parking prohibition.

380.If the traffic authority is not the local authority for the area in which a device is to be installed, the traffic authority may enter into arrangements with the local authority under which the local authority installs (or secures the installation of) the device. Alternatively, the traffic authority could retain the duty to place and maintain the devices but enter into arrangements with the local authority (for the area in which the device is to be installed) to assist the traffic authority in relation to the installation and maintenance of the device. This assistance could include the local authority making a financial contribution to the cost of the installation (and maintenance) of the device.
