A vehicle crossing is the section of driveway that connects the front property boundary to the roadway and includes any crossing constructed over a footpath, curb, berm, water channel, or drain.
It is the Property owners responsibly to install and maintain the vehicle crossing.
Your crossing should be installed by a contractor, it's their responsibility to check your site and do the work safely. We recommend hiring a contractor to do this work as things such as Traffic Management Plans may also need to the be provided and approved.
They will make an application for a new vehicle crossing on your behalf via Submitica. This is called a Corridor Access Request.
We have some standard Vehicle Crossing Design Plans that you can use for your project. Please see links below.

Vehicle entrance locations, width and sight distances
Vehicle entrances must comply with the rules in the District Plan, which cover their location, nearness to other driveways and intersections and widths to be formed to.
Here are two of the main tables. For more information on these things, please see the District plan transport rules. And include all the links below here.
Where a site has frontage onto two roads, accesses should be formed on the side that provides the safest access to and from the site for both people using the site and the road. This is usually the road with the least traffic on it.
Please note that no new vehicle access shall be created onto State Highway 4 between Waimarino Tokaanu Road and Carroll Street in National Park Township.
