Regulation 5 Consultation
Before making an order an order making authority shall–
where they are not the highway authority for any road to which the order relates, consult with the highway authority for that road,
where the order relates to a Crown road, consult with the appropriate Crown authority for that road,
where–
they are a highway authority, and
the order would be likely to have direct effect on traffic or any class of traffic on any road for the maintenance of which another highway authority is responsible,
consult that other highway authority;
in all cases, consult with organisations representing persons who use any road to which the order relates or are likely to be otherwise affected by any provisions of the order, unless it appears to the order making authority that there is no such organisation which can appropriately be consulted.
The consultations referred to in paragraph (1) of this regulation are additional to the consultation with the chief officer of police required by paragraph 20 of Schedule 9 to the 1984 Act, any other consultation required by that Act, and the consultation required of London and metropolitan authorities by paragraph 6(3)(c) of Schedule 5 to the 1985 Act.
