(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 76(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1991 provides that certain statutory provisions creating criminal offences for the contravention of parking restrictions are to cease to have effect in a special parking area, while the relevant order under section 76(1) (designating all, or part, of a London authority’s area a special parking area) is in force.
Similarly, paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 provides that certain statutory provisions creating criminal offences for the contravention of parking restrictions are to cease to have effect in a special parking area, while the relevant order under paragraph 2(1) (designating all, or part, of an administrative area outside London a special parking area) is in force.
This Order amends section 76(3) and paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 3 by adding to the list of offences which are respectively decriminalised therein, the offence of stopping on a part of a road identified as a stopping place for a bus.
The powers exercisable under paragraph 2(5) of Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 have been transferred to the National Assembly for Wales with respect to Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672), and to the Scottish Ministers with respect to Scotland by virtue of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46). The powers exercisable under section 76(4) of the 1991 Act are exercisable only by London local authorities in relation to their areas.
Section 76(3) was amended by the Road Traffic Act 1991 (Amendment of Section 76(3)) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/1437).
I.e. the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52).
Paragraph 2(4) was amended by Article 2 of the Road Traffic Act 1991 (Amendment of Schedule 3) (England and Wales) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/500).
