(a)provide that road humps shall be constructed only on roads of such descriptions and in such circumstances as may be prescribed by the regulations;

39 Status of road humps.S

extend to maintaining or, as the case may be, to making good any damage to, or otherwise reinstating, the road hump.

(b)the road hump is authorised.

(3)In relation to an authorised road hump the reference in subsection (1) above to conformity with regulations shall be construed as a reference to conformity with the conditions attached to the authorisation.
