9.2.1 Sight Lines at Railway Crossings

Where a railway and road intersect on the same level, no building or other obstruction which might block the sight lines shall be permitted within an area bounded by lines connecting points 37 metres along the centreline of the roadway measured in each direction from the centreline of the nearest railway track, to points 135 metres along the nearest railway track measured in each direction from the centreline of the roadway as shown in Council Standard Drawings (see Appendix 9).

Provided that:

The Council may, subject to agreement of Tranz Rail Ltd, and subject to such conditions as may be agreed between the Council and Tranz Rail, waive or vary the requirements of this rule in respect of any buildings in any zone if in its opinion such requirements would be unreasonable or inappropriate in the particular circumstance.
