Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke the Road Humps (Scotland) Regulations 1990 and replace them with new provisions, as a result of which the roads authority have more freedom to design and install road humps.
Regulation 3 provides for consultation with the fire brigade, ambulance service (consultation with the police is provided for under section 37(1) of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984) and with organisations representing the road users. Where the Secretary of State is the roads authority, he is required to consult the local authority in whose area the road is situated.
Regulation 4 refers to lighting requirements for roads on which a road hump may be constructed.
Regulation 5 specifies the maximum height of a road hump and of any vertical face forming part of a hump and restricts the positioning of humps near Zebra, Pelican and Puffin crossings, railway level crossings and tramways.
Regulation 6 provides for the placing of traffic signs in relation to road humps in such positions as are considered appropriate by the roads authority.
Under Regulation 7, a road hump on a road with a speed limit of 20mph or less is only subject to the requirements on dimensions (Regulation 5(1)(a) and (b)) and on its position in relation to pedestrian and other crossings (Regulation 5(1)(d) and (e) and 5(2)).
