NZUAG recognised the need for best practice standards to be used at every road works site throughout New Zealand. As a result, SNZ HB 2002:2003 Code of Practice for Working in the Road has been developed by Standards New Zealand in association with NZUAG. It builds upon work cooperatively undertaken by local authorities and utility companies in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.
The code promotes national consistency for working in the road corridor. It sets out the roles and responsibilities of RCAs, principal providers and contractors. Included are guidelines for road works notification, including the provision of a road opening notice process. There are also technical guidelines relating to site construction and safety processes.
The code is under review as part of the new project. See the pages under National Code.
