sec.102Parking regulation involves installing official traffic signs

### sec.102 Parking regulation involves installing official traffic signs The chief executive or a local government may regulate parking by installing official traffic signs indicating how parking is regulated. An official traffic sign may apply to parking— at or near the place where the sign is installed, for example, a particular parking space, road or off-street regulated parking area; or for a sign installed by a local government—throughout an area consisting of the whole or part of the local government’s area (a traffic area ). A local government may install an official traffic sign applying to parking throughout a traffic area only if— the boundaries of the traffic area have been defined under a local law; and the sign is installed on the road at every road entry to the traffic area. An official traffic sign applying to parking throughout a traffic area— may only indicate the following matters about how parking is regulated throughout the traffic area— the times when a person may only park for a maximum specified time; the times when a person may only park by paid parking at a place where the local government has provided for paid parking; the types of vehicle a person may park; and for parking for which another official traffic sign is installed within the traffic area—applies subject to the other official traffic sign. An official traffic sign installed within a traffic area may allow a longer or shorter parking time than that allowed by the official traffic sign for the entire traffic area. Subsection (4) (a) does not limit the matters that may be indicated on an official traffic sign mentioned in subsection (4) (b) . A person parking anywhere within a traffic area is taken to have notice of the contents of the official traffic sign installed at the road entries to the traffic area. If an official traffic sign is installed at or near a place so that a person parking at the place is likely to see the sign, the person is taken to have notice of the contents of the sign. This section does not limit a local government’s power to install an official traffic sign under a provision other than this part or under another law. s 102 (prev 1949 13 Geo 6 No. 26 s 44B) ins 1956 5 Eliz 2 No. 26 s 8 amd 1957 6 Eliz 2 No. 13 s 6; 1957 6 Eliz 2 No. 34 s 7; 1960 9 Eliz 2 No. 44 s 5 sub 1965 No. 26 s 24 amd 1968 No. 36 s 3 ; 1971 No. 33 s 11 ; 1982 No. 15 s 9 ; 1984 No. 102 s 16 ; 1989 No. 76 s 2 ; 1990 No. 103 s 2 .13; 1992 No. 19 s 3 sub 1994 No. 7 s 14 amd 1997 No. 66 s 25 ; 1999 No. 42 s 13 reloc 1999 No. 42 s 54 (1) sch amdt 111 amd 2001 No. 79 s 101 ; 2004 No. 9 s 65 ; 2007 No. 36 s 2 sch (sec.102-ssec.1) The chief executive or a local government may regulate parking by installing official traffic signs indicating how parking is regulated.
