(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The purpose of these Regulations is to authorise the holding of two stages of the Tour de France in England on 6th and 7th July 1994. These Regulations apply the Cycle Racing on Highways Regulations 1960 to those stages subject to three variations in the standard conditions set out in regulation 5(1)(a) of those Regulations. As respects the Tour de France, these Regulations increase the maximum permitted number of competitors to 220 and disapply the conditions limiting the extent to which the route of the race may pass along the same length of road more than once and may pass along roads subject to speed limits of 40 miles per hour or less.
1988 c. 52; section 31 was amended by the Road Traffic Act 1991 (c. 40), Schedule 4, paragraph 49. For the definition of "prescribed" in the Road Traffic Act 1988, see section 192(1).
