311: Savings in respect of bylaws made in respect of government roads

You could also call this:

“Rules about government roads stay the same even though some old laws have changed”

The repeal of certain parts of the Local Government Act 1974 doesn’t change anything about the rules made for government roads. The Minister of Transport can still make and enforce these rules. These rules are called bylaws. The Minister made these rules using a special power given by the Transit New Zealand Act 1989. Even though some parts of the old law have been cancelled, the Minister can still use this power to make new rules for government roads if needed.
