Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1999 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 2 amends regulation 8 of the 1999 Regulations so that the provisions requiring a mandatory hearing under sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph (1) of that regulation will not be triggered where the order in question is bringing forward provision in connection with matters authorised by a private Act of the Scottish Parliament.
