Part IV Road works in Scotland
Roads subject to special controls
123 Traffic-sensitive roads.
(1)
Regulations made for the purposes of section 113, 114 or 116 (notices required to be given in respect of road works) may make special provision in relation to road works in a road designated by the road works authority as traffic-sensitive.
(2)
The Secretary of State may prescribe—
(a)
the criteria for designating a road as traffic-sensitive,
(b)
the procedure for making or withdrawing such a designation, and
(c)
the information to be made available by a road works authority as to the roads for the time being so designated by them.
(3)
If it appears to the road works authority that the prescribed criteria are met only at certain times or on certain dates, a limited designation may be made accordingly.
In such a case the reference in subsection (1) to the execution of works in a road designated as traffic-sensitive shall be construed as a reference to works so executed at those times or on those dates.
(4)
Where a road has been designated as traffic-sensitive, the roads authority shall indicate that it has been so designated in the list of public roads which they are obliged to maintain by virtue of section 1 or 2 of the M1Roads (Scotland) Act 1984.
