These Regulations revoke the School Crossing Patrol Sign (England and Wales) Regulations 2002.

The provisions of these Regulations are based upon the provisions of the 2002 regulations. The principal changes are an increase in the permissible size of the perimeter strip and increased flexibility with regard to the colouring and illumination requirements of the patrol signs.

These Regulations were notified in draft to the European Commission in accordance with Directive 98/34/EC as amended by Directive 98/48/EC. Copies of the Directives can be obtained from the Stationery Office.
