New Zealand law explained for everyone

Public Works Act 1981

Roads - Damage to and nuisances on roads

129: Penalties for damage to roads, bridges, etc

You could also call this:

“Penalties for damaging roads and bridges have been removed from this law”

This section of the law was about penalties for damaging roads, bridges, and similar structures. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took this part out on 1 October 1989. This means that this specific rule no longer applies, and you would need to look at other parts of the law to find out what happens if someone damages roads or bridges now.
