Coming into force
The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 38(1), 39B and 143(1) of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984
These Regulations may be cited as the Road Humps and Traffic Calming (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1999 and shall come into force on 28th April 1999.
In these Regulations–
“the 1994 Regulations” mean the Roads (Traffic Calming) (Scotland) Regulations 1994
“the 1998 Regulations” mean the Road Humps (Scotland) Regulations 1998
For regulation 7 of the 1994 Regulations there shall be substituted the following:–
Where a build-out, chicane, island, pinch-point, rumble device or any combination thereof is constructed in a road, the roads authority for that road shall place and maintain traffic signs in such positions as are requisite for the purpose of providing adequate warning of the presence of such calming works, unless those works are– so constructed as themselves to provide adequate visual warning for persons using the road concerned; or constructed in a road which is in a 20 miles per hour zone. In this regulation a “20 miles per hour zone” means a zone identified as being a 20 miles per hour zone by a traffic sign shown in diagram 674 of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1994
For Regulation 7 of the 1998 Regulations, there shall be substituted the following:–
Where a road hump is constructed on a road which is in a 20 miles per hour zone, the provisions of regulations 4, 5(1)(c) and 6 shall not apply. In this regulation a “20 miles per hour zone” means a zone identified as being a 20 miles per hour zone by a traffic sign shown in diagram 674 of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1994.
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend: the Roads (Traffic Calming) (Scotland) Regulations 1994 (“the 1994 Regulations”) which prescribed the traffic calming works which a roads authority may construct in a road maintained by them, and the Road Humps (Scotland) Regulations 1998 (“the 1998 Regulations”) which make provision as to the construction and maintenance of road humps. Regulation 3 amends regulation 7 of the 1994 Regulations so that the signing provisions relating to the warning of the presence of traffic calming works do not apply to traffic calming works in a 20 miles per hour zone. Regulation 4 amends regulation 7 of the 1998 Regulations so that the signing and lighting provisions and certain provisions relating to the placing of road humps do not apply to a road hump in a 20 miles per hour zone.
