Hi all,

Just posting because I know their was a bit of discussion surrounding the legality of riding in the T2 transit lanes on the on-ramps of Auckland's motorways.

I got pulled over by a cop today using the T2 lane on the SE-Arterial transit lane onto SH1 heading north towards town.

He said "I don't want to have a discussion, you can't use these lanes next time i'll give you a ticket"
Me "I don't wish to be disrespectful but I believe that I can"
Him "No you can't... you don't have a passenger and you're not a truck"

I told him I had been advised that it was legal for Motorbikes and that he should check with his Sergeant or higher ups.

I know a few guys on here (Ixion) are tight with BRONZ so I think we need to try to make sure this is clarified.... if we are allowed to use them then the bloody cops should be told... If not (and that is fine with me) then I will stop using them.

Thanks for you time.

If they ignore it (they probably will) I'll rev them up with the Police Complaints Authority.

Obviously, write and object tot he ticket. All the info you will need is in the letter.

The cop didn't give me a ticket... he was giving me a verbal warning.... he had pulled over another motorbike and two cars as well.... he was wandering all over the Southern Motorway on foot in order to do this..... very unsafe I thought.

I just wondered about this matter, did a little search, and found this thread... Wow, what a great response, and from a Superintendent, no less, which is about as high in rank as you can get to in the NZ Police without becoming the Commissioner or Dept. or Asst. Commissioner. I've saved and printed a copy just in case this issue should come up, but I don't think it will, given the distribution it was given by said Superintendent.

It all raises an interesting point.

Traffic law is incredibly complex. I supervise a group of vastly experienced traffic cops, and even we have debates at times as to the way rules are written, and how they should be applied.

No wonder there's confusion about some issues, sometimes. No cop can know everything, all the time. It's just not possible.

Just sayin.

"ignorance is no excuse" :Pokey::innocent:

I do not always agree with Scuba Steve but on this he has a very valid point. How often do police officers use that line when the public attempt to defend their actions.
Its all well and good with something clear cut like not shooting people (unless they are stupid of course :rolleyes:) but its a bit disingenuous for an officer to say "ignorance is no excuse" and then when his fellows get called on their ignorance to appear to brush it aside.

You have demonstrated time and again you are not the average cop Rastus but its another very clear example how the organisation cuts a stick to beat its own back.

Entirely agree.

Our job is such that when someone sees the uniform, they think we are an expert in everything. One such example is when I stop a boy racer car. I actually don't bother much with them, as I feel that very few crashes are caused by them, and that a noisy exhaust never killed anyone. Then they start telling me about decibel levels, lean angles, boost levels.......basically, most boy racers know more about their cars than I do.

The 4 wheel drive crowd are another group. They can normally detail the inner working of Bilsteins, which I can't.

I specialize in motorcycle stuff due to the job I have. Lucky me, really. But equally, I don't expect average cops to have the level of knowledge I do.

Some knowledge is general, some is quite specific.

The problem arises when someone thinks they know the rules, when they actually don't. Growling at a motor cyclist for lane splitting is a classic. It's generally done without the knowledge of the technical issues surrounding that. Often motorcyclists know more about the motorcycle-specific rules than the cops enforcing them. This T2 thing is a case in point.

Just sayin.

Wouldn't it be nice if, just once, a cop on the road side could admit he doesn't know everything? It's all good and well being humble on here, but every wanker cop in the wild likes to think they're the expert, and never want to hear anything about it.

My attitude came out of the Rich Dad Poor Dad philosophy. Unless you can admit to being wrong, you can't learn any better.

I do that quite a bit and I've found it quite refreshing.

It must be tough knowing everything and always being right. I'd far rather just enjoy being human.

Now I'm not disagreeing with the above two statements. But I've found that after 30 years of driving/riding on 3 continents, the blue brigade in NZ is rather reasonable to deal with, provided one doesn't start off with a chip on ones' shoulder from the outset. Exceptions exist of course, but have you ever been pulled over for say speeding in Switzerland? Crossing a double yellow in France? Nah, I'll take the kiwi copper any day.

Funny thing happened this morning.

A young guy on a moped overtook my marked Popo car on the left hand side.

The discussion was going okay until he started telling me I should be out catching a murderer. Up to that point I was considering treating the thing as an educational opportunity. As soon as the attitude deteriorated so did the chance of a warning. The foul language was a clue too.

Anyway, ticket issued.

And I remember an occasion on a KB ride (some time ago admittedly), when a member who appears earlier in this thread was radared at WELL over 200 kph not far from the Okorire pub and given a ticket for 139 kph.
On that occasion, the cop was a biker too, but it demonstrates what attitude and courtsey can achieve.

If the cop doesn't listen and insists on issuing an infringement notice then take it, email the Police Infringement Bureau and they will cancel the notice.

If you are upset about the cops attitude etc this can also be done by email and it will be addressed.

I am very surprised this has happened. It sounds like the Constable was attached to Auckland Motorways and if he didn't know should have asked. I often Police that T2 lane because there is always someone who thinks they are more important than the rest and wants to push in. I have stopped bikes there before, but that is to tell them that they should be using the T2 lane.

There's always one isn't there.

I was heading up onto SH1 Northbound from South Eastern Highway yesterday.

A cop had just pulled a guy queue jumping in the T2 lane with no passengers. As I headed up the lane, he waved to me and pointed in the direction of the queueing traffic.

I didn't work out what he wanted from his gesture so I pulled up next to him.

"It isn't a bus lane buddy - you need to queue up also."
"I thought I was allowed to be in transit lanes?"
"Yeah - I know it is confusing but you shouldn't be in these."
"OK - strange because I saw a letter from Waitemata police saying that we could in all the lanes except the Grafton truck one?"
"Oh well, news to me, but if you are sure no worries."
"OK - cheers."

So perfectly pleasant cop (and he had missed me cutting through a poled off cross hatched area to get to the lane!) and he was doing something worthwhile, namely ticketing the guy who thought he had far more reason than the rest of society to get to work faster, but he didn't know the rules, unless they had changed....

I'll email the cops (without naming the cop - he was a nice guy afterall).

C. Only vehicles with less than two people inside can use this lane

D. Only vehicles carrying two or more people can use this lane

E. There are two transit lanes ahead

The correct answer is D

This is a transit lane which can only be used by passenger service vehicles, cycles, motorcycles and vehicles carrying at least two people.

Yeah - of course we are allowed there! I wouldn't have followed a cop up the lane if I slightly suspected otherwise....

What I was more bothered about was the attitude of the cage drivers who saw me getting a finger wagging and will go all self righteous to bikers in future....


Did like this on the drivingtest site - "If a transit lane is being monitored then you will need to ensure that your passengers are visible"

The legislation has been abbreviated.

From Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, Section 1.6 Interpretation


transit lane means a lane reserved for the use of the following (unless specifically excluded by a sign installed at the start of the lane):
(a) passenger service vehicles:
(b) motor vehicles carrying not less than the number of persons (including the driver) specified on the sign:
(c) cycles:
(d) motorcycles:
(e) mopeds

'any reason you're driving in the bus lane'

'you better not use it anyway. Another unit up the road and he will give you a ticket anyway'

Aren't they for parking when not in use as bus lanes?

Edit: Don't know about Auckland but in Chch bikes can use them during 'on' hours anyway. Didn't know that, sweet!

Outside these times, the
bus lanes generally revert to on-street parking spaces with

Unless marked for parking (or not marked, like dotted yellows), they revert to a standard lane. Like any regular road with no parking restrictions, you could have vehicles parked on the left, and therefore the lane becomes effectively unusable.

I don't believe Auckland has taniwha issues, but you may like to ask those who live in Waikato...
I seem to recall a multi million dollar study into how to deal with the taniwha in the estuary in Mission Bay? Blocking a planned redevelopment of the walkways between Mission and Mechanics bay?
I can't find the actual study but did find this in the waterfront plan for auckland.

From https://www.waterfrontauckland.co.nz/getmedia/68b631ad-87ef-4501-b8cc-3083698b70da/39347-WAKL-Waterfront-Plan_Y.pdf.aspx/

Where there weren’t
gardens
filled with kumara and taro,
the native bush would flourish with branches bending
under the weight of plump birds such as kererū. Numerous
taniwha or spiritual guardians, such as Ureia, once dwelt in
the waters of the Waitemata using the reef off Point Erin to
scratch its back.

And back in my car days I'd skip so many queues when people didn't read the damn sign!

The Tamaki drive transit lane in a great queue jump - T2 6:30 - 9am. Usually still a queue after then though so just jump in the big empty transit!

Can you read OP?
Any vehicle with TWO or more people in/on it, can use a T2 lane.
Another totally pointless thread.

What luck ... I have two ... two or more vehicles ... one is even a motorcycle.

I'm just glad I'm not in Auckland .... in Paradise I can go by myself (if I choose) anywher I want on the mainland roads.

So basically cyclists in the T2 lanes are illegal, unless they stop at the bus stop at the top of the road and get a passenger to sit in their handlebars?

Great reading comprehension Fjrider. :msn-wink:

Perhaps it's best to cut us loose. I dont want to run the risk of you driving on Auckland roads :scratch:

If the cop can't see your passengers he's going to presume you are guilty ..





Sometimes ... you're guilty .. even if he/she CAN see your passenger ... :shifty:

You have not made enough posts to SEE who gave you rep.

The comment he left with the rep gave it away :)
