17 Road manager
17 Road manager
(1) Except as provided by subsection (2), the following are declared to be the road manager for a road in this jurisdiction for the purposes of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (NSW)—
(a) for a public road—the roads authority for the road under the Roads Act 1993,
(b) for a private road—the owner of the road.
Note.
See section 5 of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (NSW) for the definition of road manager.
(2) TfNSW is declared to be the road manager for each of the following roads (regardless of whether it is the roads authority under the Roads Act 1993 for the road or the owner of the road)—
(a) a road in respect of which TfNSW performs under that Act some or all of the functions of the roads authority instead of the authority (whether under an agreement or otherwise),
(b) a road that is a tollway or transitway.
(3) To avoid doubt, a reference in this section to a roads authority is not affected by section 16 (which declares TfNSW to be the road authority for the purposes of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (NSW)).
(4) A term used in this section that is defined for the purposes of the Roads Act 1993 has the same meaning as in that Act.
