  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Road Works (Registers, Notices, Directions and Designations) (Scotland) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2991) (“the principal Regulations”).\nRegulation 2(a) places a new requirement on roads authorities with regard to the form in which they are to keep road works registers as required by section 112 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Previously, such registers could be kept in any form. However, by virtue of the amendment introduced in this regulation, such registers will now have to be kept in a form which complies with the system of street referencing specified in the publication issued by the British Standards Institution on 15 June 1993 entitled “Spatial Data sets for geographic referencing. Part I. Specification for a Street Gazetteer” (BS 7666) modified for the purposes of the principal Regulations by Schedule 3 inserted into those Regulations by these Regulations. Copies of the publication BS 7666 maybe obtained from the BSI, Linford Wood, Milton Keynes, MK14 6LE and also from HMSO Bookshops.\nRegulation 2(b) amends the table below regulation 3(2) of the principal Regulations to the effect of making the relevant undertaker responsible for securing the registration of certain information instead of the roads authority.\nRegulation 2(c) amends regulation 13(1)(a) of the principal Regulations to make it clear that the prohibition or restriction of the parking of vehicles referred to in that paragraph must be for at least one hour between 7.30am and 9.30am and at least one hour between 3.30pm and 7.00pm, but not necessarily for the whole of those periods.",
