Origin
Was originally created in part by Stewart Fraser in 2000.

Levels of Roads
The roads in New Zealand are broken up into categories which determine the training needed to work there and equipment that need to be used to keep workers and public safe. The roads levels use the AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic) and VPD (vehicles per day) to determine road levels. The levels can also change with speed and urban/ rural areas. These are ultimately set by the local RCA (Road Controlling Authority).

Low volume low risk roads less than 250vpd

Low volume roads less than 500vpd

Level 1 roads less than 10,000vpd Rural less than 15,000vpd Urban

Level 2 roads more than 10,000 Rural more than 10,000 Urban

Level 2 low speed roads Roads with volumes the same as Level 2 roads but with speeds less than 65kph

Level 3 Roads more than 10,000 vpd more than 75kph
