EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area) (County of Bedfordshire) (Districts of Mid-Bedfordshire and South Bedfordshire) Order 2004 (the "Principal Order"). Article 3(2)(c) of the Principal Order is amended so that certain parts of the A5 in the district of South Bedfordshire are included in the permitted parking area and special parking area.
The definition of "parking authority" inserted into section 82(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1991 for the purposes of the Principal Order is replaced. The authority that provides, authorises or designates a parking place under section 32(1) (power of local authorities to provide parking places) and section 45(1) (designation of paying parking places on highways) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 is the parking authority in respect of that parking place, or any vehicle left stationary in that parking place. For any other place to which the Principal Order applies, or vehicle left stationary in that place (including the A5 trunk road), the Bedfordshire County Council is the parking authority. A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
