Advanced stop boxes: enforcement and promotion

Anita Easton made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

The request was successful.

From: Anita Easton

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

What activities have you undertaken to enforce the appropriate use of advanced stop boxes in the Wellington Region. This includes activities undertaken jointly with the police, local territorial authorities or other agencies, individual enforcement actuaries. I would appreciate any statistics you capture about these activities, such as warnings for other vehicles using the advanced stop boxes.

What enforcement or communication activities are planned, or currently in planning?

Yours faithfully,

Anita Easton

Kia ora Alex & Anita,

 

The previous Road Policing Manager for Wellington (Snr. Sgt. Richard
Hocken now retired) looked into this matter and decided that the Advanced
Stop Boxes could not be enforced.  The Stop box is not a cycle lane so
legislation preventing vehicles from entering a cycle lane do not apply. 
The limit line or beginning of the intersection it at the front of the ASB
so legislation around entering an intersection does not apply.

 

A such we have adjusted any collateral around ASBs so that they do not
mention enforcement and we just show how they are to be used.

Dear Hugh Wilson,

Thanks so much for your response. While it's not very cheering it is really useful :)

The second thing I was interested in was promotion/communication activities about advanced stop boxes. Does GWRC have any planned?

Yours sincerely,

Anita Easton
