(1)The provisions of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 (“the 2003 Act”) referred to in subsection (2) apply in relation to an Olympic traffic contravention as they apply in relation to a contravention of a prescribed order within the meaning of section 4 of that Act.
(2)The provisions of the 2003 Act are—
(a)section 4 (penalty charges for road traffic contraventions),
(b)section 6 (limitation on service of penalty charge notice),
(c)section 7 (disapplication of offences),
(d)Schedule 1 (penalty charge notices: representations etc.), and
(e)Schedule 2 (penalty charge notices: financial provisions),
and section 2 of that Act (interpretation) so far as it relates to any of those provisions.
(3)An “Olympic traffic contravention” is a contravention of any of the following that applies to a road in Greater London—
(a)an order made by virtue of section 14(1) or (4),
(b)a notice issued by virtue of section 14(5B), or
(c)an order made under section 16A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (road closures or restrictions for certain events) as applied by section 16 of this Act.
(4)But a contravention of an order or notice referred to in subsection (3) is not an Olympic traffic contravention in so far as Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 applies in relation to it by virtue of section 15 or 16.
(5)For the purposes of this section, section 4 of the 2003 Act has effect as if—
(a)in subsection (10) (power to set level of discount for early payment of penalty charge), for “the borough councils and Transport for London acting through the Joint Committee” there were substituted “ the Olympic Delivery Authority ”, and
(b)for subsection (13) there were substituted the subsection (13) set out in section 16B(1).
(6)For the purposes of this section, section 7 of the 2003 Act has effect as if after subsection (3) there were inserted the subsections (3A) and (3B) set out in section 16B(2).
(7)The Secretary of State may direct the enforcement authority for a road in Greater London to exercise its power under section 4(2) or 6(6) of the 2003 Act in respect of an Olympic traffic contravention.
(8)Where the enforcement authority is Transport for London, the Secretary of State may give a direction under subsection (7) only with the consent of the Mayor of London.
(9)If an enforcement authority for a road fails to comply with a direction under subsection (7), the Olympic Delivery Authority may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, act as the enforcement authority for that road.
(10)If the Authority acts as the enforcement authority for a road by virtue of subsection (9), it may recover from the enforcement authority, as if it were a debt, the reasonable cost of acting.
(11)In this section, “enforcement authority” means whichever of Transport for London or the relevant borough council under the 2003 Act is for the time being entitled to exercise the power under section 4(2) of that Act.
(12)For the purposes of this section, the provisions of the 2003 Act referred to in subsection (2) are to be treated as being fully in force.]
