To Whom It May Concern, Request made under the Official Information Act 1982 Thank you for your email of 8 April 2024 requesting the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act): Hi, I'm trying to verify the Vehicle count and classifications ( % HGV etc.) for junction of Blackbyre Road and SH60 Nelson. How many vehicles use this junction on a daily basis and how many of these are from Heavy Truck Vehicles. NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) does not manage a traffic counter at this intersection and so I am unable to provide this information. We do, however, hold information for a similar location and this is provided below. I am therefore required by the Act to refuse this request under section 18(g)(i), as the information requested isn’t held by NZTA and there is no reason to believe it is held by another department or organisation. NZTA’s closest counter to this intersection is 2.3kms away and is located on the Appleby Overbridge. The site has an average annual daily traffic count of 11,866 vehicles per day, with 14.8 percent of the figure being attributed to heavy vehicles. All sites throughout New Zealand and their annual daily traffic figures are on our State highway traffic monitoring – annual average daily traffic which is available on the Open Data Portal at https://opendata-nzta.opendata.arcgis.com/apps/0a056719a1a44715ad892da1e0e09e41. Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. If you would like to discuss this reply with NZTA, please contact us by email to official.correspondence@nzta.govt.nz. Yours sincerely Galina Mitchelhill Senior Manager, Research and Analytics
