Designation of streets as protected14
1
A street authority must not designate a street as protected under section 61 unless —
a
the street fulfils a specific strategic traffic need;
b
the street is subject to such high and constant traffic flows that designation as a traffic-sensitive street would not be sufficient to avoid serious disruption to traffic caused by street works; and
c
there exists a reasonable alternative for placing undertakers' apparatus which could lawfully be placed in the street.
2
The procedure for making or withdrawing such a designation is set out in the Schedule.
3
The information to be made available by the street authority in respect of each street for the time being designated by them as protected must include —
a
the date of designation;
b
particulars of the street in sufficient detail to enable it to be identified; and
c
particulars of all consents to the placing of apparatus in the street.
