In theory the bridle path is a legal road - however - you have t be a total f#$k head to drive it and encourage the CCC to close it off.

road has different status either side of the summit, 'cos of the old council structure with Lyttelton and Christchurch. I believe the Lyttelton side is not a road and there are plans to remove the road status on the Chch side for heritage reasons. I drove it for work ~12mths ago, but we obtained approval from the Park Rangers prior.

It is - you would still be a f$%k head to drive an icon walking track without permission

Roads status doesn't depend upon local councils - they are covered by the local Bodies Act that councils have to comply with.
