SourceLand Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999 (SR 1999/99), Schedule 1 — as at 19 May 2026 (ltop-1999 consolidation stamp)

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.

Every figure taken from the Land Transport Act 1998 or the 1999 Regulations, with its citation.
