Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 76(3) of the Road Traffic Act 1991 provides that certain statutory provisions creating criminal offences for the contravention of parking restrictions are to cease to have effect in a special parking area, while the order under section 76(1) designating the area is in force. This Order amends section 76(3) by adding to the last of decriminalised parking contraventions.
