Land Transport Act 1998
46 offences in the penalty schedule are made under this instrument. Each row states its maximum fine on conviction and its infringement fee, separately for an individual and for a body corporate — four different facts about one offence, and they are never merged.
The table
46 offences, with the four columns in full
The provision column is each row’s real identifier. The description beside it is the schedule’s own brief indication of the provision’s content and is not the operative text.

Source — Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999 (SR 1999/99), Schedule 1 (as amended by SL 2026/184, reg 5(2)) — as at 19 May 2026 (consolidated text), plus the two rows inserted by SL 2026/184 reg 5(2), in force 6 August 2026 — current through 31 October 2026. Two further amendments are made but not yet in force and are not included here: SL 2026/184 reg 5(1) and reg 5(3) (in force 1 November 2026) and the Antisocial Road Use Legislation Amendment Act 2026 (2026 No 37) s 48 (in force 9 January 2027).
Speed rows here are worked out in full on the speeding ticket page (the fee), and on the demerit points page (what is recorded against a licence, if anything).
— is the schedule’s own em dash, reproduced: that column does not apply to this offence. It is deliberately not rendered as $0 — a zero and an inapplicability are different facts, and a body corporate that cannot commit an offence is not a body corporate fined nothing for it. Where a cell points at another schedule’s scale, the pointer is printed rather than resolved into a figure the row does not itself state.
The brief descriptions given in the second column of Schedule 1, and the first column of Schedule 1A and Schedule 1B, are intended only to be an indication of the content of the provisions they describe, and are not intended to be used in the interpretation of the provisions.
The rest of the catalogue
This is one of 35 instruments in the schedule
The index lists every one of them with its offence count, so a notice naming a different instrument is one link away rather than one long scroll away.
27 rule 6 (parking and stopping) rows of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 are deliberately not priced anywhere on this site: those fees are set by the road controlling authority’s own bylaw, and a national figure printed bare would read as the amount somebody owes. The hub states that omission in full, with its count.
