These Regulations specify the procedures which National Park authorities in England must follow in order to make such orders.\nPart 2 sets out the procedures involved in making traffic regulation orders, Part 3 sets out the procedures for experimental traffic orders, and Part 4 deals with temporary orders. Regulation 2 includes definitions of “traffic regulation order”, “experimental traffic order” and “temporary order” for the purposes of these Regulations.\nA full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available on www.defra.gov.uk and is annexed to the explanatory memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website.",
