Whats the law say about closed roads?
What does that line of road cones mean, legally?
What if there is a road thats not so much closed (ie no signs), but no longer a public road as it has no way in or out of the street?

I rode along the highbrook road (before it was opened) went thru the cones off the motorway one sunday morning and had to elude the cops on my way out at the east tamaki end so pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be rarking around the earthworksbut was fun still.

well the question is for a number of situations.
Yes, one of them happens to be that there is a perfect peice of practice road right near my house.
Twas part of the road, then they rerouted it and left a few hundred meters with no way to get to it, asside from riding across some grass etc to get to it.

One of my mates regularly ignores 'onramp closed' signs and scoots past.

I think it sounds like a fabulous place to practice emergency braking. How is your brake lever by the way?
And where have you been? Haven't heard from you for ages.

hrrm sounds like you live in St Johns/GI!
The instructions are simple...
You've answered your own question....
The law describes a public road as anywhere a vehicle can access without having to go through a locked gate into a fenced off area. Essentially.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

But say you were doing your stunt practice and a copper sees you. Can he ticket you for illegally being on private land, considering it is no longer a "public" road?
Just because it's gummint owned doesn't mean it's public access.
And I'm sure they'd get you on something just to make a point. I really feel sorry for the guys and girls who want to practice their stunting - there seems to be nowhere to go. Same problem here in Aus.

But if you're not on a public road you are out of their jurisdiction as far as vehicle use goes. You could possibly be done for trespassing but that would require a complaint from the land owner I think. I was once told by a security guard in a railway marshalling yard (I was taking photos of old box cars) that if there's no sign saying "no trespassing" or the like I had nothing to worry about. I'm not sure if this is the law or just how it's treated by security guards.
