You could also call this:

"Talking to the community about new road rules"

Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

When a road controlling authority wants to make a bylaw, you need to know that it must follow certain rules. If the authority is a local authority, it must follow the rules in section 156 of the Local Government Act 2002. If the authority is not a local authority, it must consult with many groups, including people who live near the road and other road controlling authorities. The authority must give notice in writing to these groups about its proposal to make, amend, or replace a bylaw. You will have a reasonable amount of time to make submissions on the proposal. The authority must consider your submissions before making a decision. The authority must consult with many groups, including the occupiers of properties near the road, other road controlling authorities, the territorial authority, and the Commissioner of Police. It must also consult with any affected local community and other organisations or road user groups that it thinks are affected. If the authority is not the Agency, it must also consult with the Agency.
