(2) The powers conferred by paragraph (1)(d) may only be exercised after LUL has consulted the chief officer of police, the traffic authority and such other persons as it considers necessary and appropriate, after LUL has taken into consideration any representations made to it by any such persons and after LUL has obtained the consent of the traffic authority in whose area the road concerned is situated (which must not be unreasonably withheld).

(3) LUL must not exercise the powers conferred by this article in relation to any road unless it has—

(a) given not less than 4 weeks’ notice in writing of its intention to do so to the chief officer of police and to the traffic authority in whose area the road is situated; and

(b) advertised its intention in such manner as the traffic authority may, within 7 days of its receipt of notice of LUL’s intention, specify in writing.

(4) Any prohibition, suspension or other provision made by LUL under paragraph (1) has effect as if duly made by, as the case may be—

(a) the traffic authority in whose area the road is situated, as a traffic regulation order under the 1984 Act; or

(b) the local authority in whose area the road is situated, as an order under section 32 (power of local authorities to provide parking places) of the 1984 Act,

and the instrument by which it is effected may specify savings and exemptions (in addition to those mentioned in Schedule 9) to which the prohibition, restriction or other provision is subject.

(5) Any prohibition, restriction or other provision made under this article may be suspended, varied or revoked by LUL from time to time by subsequent exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1).

(6) Expressions used in this article and in the 1984 Act have the same meaning in this article as in that Act.

(7) The powers conferred on LUL by this article with respect to any road have effect subject to any agreement entered into by LUL with any person with an interest in (or who undertakes activities in relation to) premises served by the road.
