Traffic regulation and control

Unique IDAY-0053DescriptionCouncil's responsibilities to regulate for orderly use of streets originally encompassed licensing hackney cabs, carters, porters and barrowmen. Cab licensing and related responsibilities were lost in 1873, regulation of porters and barrowmen continued until at least 1933.

Council's general power to regulate the manner of use of streets (for example to divert traffic and prohibit unruly behaviour) needs further research.

In recent years (1989+?) Council has again taken responsibility for some traffic planning matters. The mandate for this needs further research.CreationSydney Corporation Act 1842, s93.
Council to make by laws for carters porters and drivers.

Municipalities Act 1858 s129 (Councils other than the City of Sydney): power to levy fees on hire vehicles. It is not clear that any of the suburban Councils enforced this power or in fact exercised any 'activity' relating to traffic regulation or control.AbolitionPublic Vehicles Act 1873.
Vehicular control transferred to Board of Transit Commissioners.
