3.—(1) Works executed under this Order in relation to a highway which is, or forms part of a carriageway are to be treated for the purposes of Part 3 of the 1991 Act (street works in England and Wales) as major transport works if—

(a) they are of a description mentioned in any of paragraphs (a), (c) to (e), (g) and (h) of section 86(3) of that Act (which defines what highway authority works are major highway works); or

(b) they are works which, had they been executed by the highway authority, might have been carried out in exercise of the powers conferred by section 64 of the 1980 Act (dual carriageways and roundabouts).

(2) The following provisions of the 1991 Act do not apply in relation to any works executed under the powers conferred by this Order—

• section 56 (directions as to timing);

• section 56A (power to give directions as to placing of apparatus);

• section 58 (restrictions following substantial road works);

• section 73A (power to require undertaker to re-surface street);

• section 73C (materials, workmanship and standard of re-surfacing);

• section 78A (contributions to costs of re-surfacing by undertaker); and

• Schedule 3A (restriction on works following substantial street works).

(3) The provisions of the 1991 Act mentioned in paragraph (4) which, together with other provisions of that Act, apply in relation to the execution of street works and any regulations made, or code of practice issued or approved under, those provisions apply (with the necessary modifications) in relation to the stopping up, alteration or diversion of a street of a temporary nature by the promoter under the powers conferred by this Order whether or not the stopping up, alteration or diversion constitutes street works within the meaning of that Act.

(4) The provisions of the 1991 Act referred to in paragraph (3) are—

• section 54 (advance notice of certain works);

• section 55 (notice of starting date of works);

• section 57 (notice of emergency works);

• section 59 (general duty of street authority to co-ordinate works);

all such other provisions as apply for the purposes of the provisions mentioned above.

(5) Sections 54 and 55 of the 1991 Act as applied by paragraph (3) have effect as if references in section 57 of that Act to emergency works were a reference to a stopping up, alteration or diversion (as the case may be) required in a case of emergency.

(6) Nothing in article 11 (construction and maintenance of new or altered streets)—

(a) prejudices the operation of section 87 of the 1991 Act (prospectively maintainable highways) and the promoter is not by reason of any duty under this Order to maintain a street to be taken to be the street authority in relation to that street for the purposes of Part 3 of that Act; and

(b) has effect in relation to street works with regard to which the provisions of Part 3 of the 1991 Act apply.
