Have your say on Traffic Resolutions

The consultation on the 2025 Draft Roading Bylaw 2025 has now closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

We're now in the second stage of the consultation and are asking for your input on the specific traffic rules (called “traffic resolutions”) that will support the new bylaw.

What are traffic resolutions?

Traffic resolutions are formal Council decisions about how roads, parking, and traffic are managed in specific locations across the district.

These rules cover things like:

• Paid parking areas
• Bus stops
• One-way streets
• Speed limits or weight restrictions on certain roads and bridges
• Other traffic or road use restrictions

Most of these rules reflect what’s already in place under the current bylaw, so no significant changes are being proposed. We're simply formalising the existing arrangements.

What happens next?

Once this second round of feedback is complete and the Council has decided on the final resolutions:

• They will become part of the Council’s official records
• Signs and road markings will show the rules on-site
• The information will be published online
• The rules can then be enforced

What do I need to look at?

The proposed traffic resolutions are grouped into these sections:

Bylaw Rules Section: Parking restrictions

Bylaw Rules Section: Vehicle and road use restrictions

Bylaw Rules Section: Weight, speed and load restrictions (bridges and culverts)

Each proposed resolution includes the location and a reference number.
