Summary

The High Court concluded the rainbow crossing at the junction of Dixon Street and Cuba Mall was lawful in 2018 and is not contrary to the rules governing road markings and traffic control devices. McHerron J assessed the crossing primarily by reference to the rule in place at installation, rather than when amended, as there was no suggestion the amendments were designed to be retrospective.
