Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 76(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1991 provides that certain statutory provisions creating criminal offences for the contravention of parking restrictions are to cease to have effect in a special parking area, while the relevant order under section 76(1) (designating all, or part, of a London authority’s area a special parking area) is in force.
Similarly, paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 provides that certain statutory provisions creating criminal offences for the contravention of parking restrictions are to cease to have effect in a special parking area, while the relevant order under paragraph 2(1) (designating all, or part, of an administrative area outside London a special parking area) is in force.
This Order amends section 76(3) and paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 3 by adding to the list of offences which are respectively decriminalised therein, the offence of stopping on a part of a road identified as a stopping place for a bus.
