(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force, in relation to Wales, provisions of Part 1 (Traffic Officers) of the Traffic Management Act 2004 ("the 2004 Act").
Part 1 of the 2004 Act empowers the Welsh Ministers, in their capacity as highway and traffic authority for the strategic road network in Wales, (i.e. most motorways and all other trunk roads), to establish a uniformed on-road traffic officer service to manage the traffic consequences of random incidents (such as accidents, obstructions, debris and break downs) and manage programmed highway events such as the passage of abnormal loads. In practice the Welsh Ministers carry out their functions as highway and traffic authority through trunk road agents, who will implement Part 1 on their behalf.
The functions of the National Assembly for Wales under the Traffic Management Act 2004 were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (2006 c. 32). Back [2]
Powers under section 245A of the Highways Act 1980 (1980 c. 66) were transferred to the National Assembly by virtue of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). The powers of the National Assembly for Wales were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (2006 c. 32). Back [3]
