Is a carpark a road, given this definition in New Zealand law
<p>I am wondering whether a car park would be considered a road.</p>

<p>Per <a href="http://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1998/0110/latest/DLM433619.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Land Transport Act 1998</a> interpretations a road is:</p>

<blockquote>
  <ul>
  <li><p>(a) a street; and</p></li>
  <li><p>(b) a motorway; and</p></li>
  <li><p>(c) a beach; and</p></li>
  <li><p>(d) a place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not; and</p></li>
  <li><p>(e) all bridges, culverts, ferries, and fords forming part of a road or street or motorway, or a place referred to in paragraph (d);
  and</p></li>
  <li><p>(f) all sites at which vehicles may be weighed for the purposes of this Act or any other enactment</p></li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>(d) seems overly broad whereas (a), (b), and (c) are not so I am unsure. Would I be wasting my time trying to argue this in court? I have an infringement for an unregistered car left on a road, which was this open air car park at a council/government owned airport.</p>

  <p>(d) a place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not</p>

<p>Be that broad or not, it applies to airport car parks.</p>

<p>Pretty much.</p>
