  • The Traffic Safety Service (Māori: Te Manatū Waka) was a division of the Ministry of Transport of New Zealand. It was a uniformed law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing road transport law in New Zealand. It was separate from the New Zealand Police. From the late 1920s until 1992, traffic law enforcement in New Zealand was not normally carried out by the New Zealand Police. Instead, it was carried out by a combination of a central government agency and various territorial local bodies, each appointing their own traffic officers. Government traffic officers had jurisdiction on all roads but in practice tended to patrol only areas not covered by local body traffic officers. Over a period of decades, central government gradually took over the national enforcement of traffic laws by amalgamating local body traffic departments into one organisation under the Ministry of Transport. The Traffic Safety Service was the final culmination of this process. By the early 1990s it became the sole national traffic law enforcement agency, still separate from the New Zealand Police. In 1992 the Traffic Safety Service was itself absorbed into the New Zealand Police, which now has responsibility for road traffic enforcement across New Zealand. (en)
