Insiza Rural District Council (Traffic, Clamping and Tow-away) By-laws, 2025
Insiza charges US$200 a year for driving school and taxi operator licences, US$90 a quarter for terminus discs, US$8 a bus entry — and fines an unpermitted animal-drawn vehicle US$150.
These by-laws cover parking, public transport, clamping and towing in the Insiza Rural District Council area: where and how vehicles may park, projecting beyond a bay, picking up and setting down passengers, parking on sidewalks, visibility obstruction, parking discs, taxis, omnibuses, terminus discs, animal-drawn vehicles, heavy vehicles in the CBD and residential areas, clamping, towing and unclaimed vehicles.
Most parking fees are printed as nil — prepaid parking, monthly bay discs, designated lots, towing, impounding and overnight storage. What is priced is licensing: an operator's licence costs US$200 a year for a taxi and Class 4 driving school, and the same for Class 1 and Class 2 driving schools and for lorries in the sand extraction sector; terminus discs cost US$90 a quarter; bus terminus gate tolls are US$8 an entry for buses and US$4 for commuter omnibuses; and clamping costs US$10 for light and heavy vehicles alike.
Penalties run from US$5 for boarding or alighting at an undesignated area to US$150 for using an animal-drawn vehicle in the council area without a permit — the heaviest in the schedule. US$40 applies to failing to display a prepaid parking disc, parking outside a parking lane, parking away from the extreme left where parking is undefined so as to obstruct traffic, letting a vehicle or its load extend beyond the parking lines, and operating an unregistered taxi. US$30 applies to stopping to pick up or set down passengers outside a designated area, and US$20 to parking a motorcycle, omnibus, taxi or pedal cycle outside its prescribed place, blocking a service lane, ignoring a no-parking sign, unlawful parking in a loading zone, taxi parking outside a rank, parking within 7,5 metres of an intersection, loading or offloading goods at an undesignated area, operating a commuter omnibus without a permit, heavy vehicles in residential areas or the CBD, failing to use designated goods routes, and obstructing an authorised person.
