Article 12 Traffic signsI1

Network Rail may, for the purposes of, or in connection with, the control of construction traffic entering the site of the authorised development, and after consultation with the traffic authority, place or maintain traffic signs of a type prescribed by regulations made under section 64(1)(a) (general provisions as to traffic signs) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984^f1 (“the 1984 Act”) or of a character authorised by the Secretary of State at or adjoining the junction between Hadleigh Road and the access road leading to that site.

Any power conferred by section 65 of the 1984 Act to give directions to a traffic authority or local traffic authority as to traffic signs includes a power to give directions to Network Rail as to traffic signs under this article; and, accordingly, the powers conferred by paragraph (1) are exercisable subject to and in conformity with any directions given under that section.

Expressions used in this article and in the 1984 Act have the same meaning in this article as in the Act.
