Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) which prescribe the procedure to be followed by local traffic authorities in Scotland for making the main types of traffic and parking orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 16 of the 1999 Regulations by introducing further paragraphs to allow authorities to apply to Scottish Ministers, on cause shown, for up to 4 six month extensions where the order cannot be made within the 2 year period specified in regulation 16(3).

Regulation 4 amends paragraph (1)(1)(b) of Schedule 5 to the 1999 Regulations so that the map required by regulation 15 need only provide details of an alternative route if such a route exists.
