## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force, in relation to Wales, provisions of Part 1 (Traffic Officers) of the Traffic Management Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”).
Part 1 of the 2004 Act empowers the Welsh Ministers, in their capacity as highway and traffic authority for the strategic road network in Wales, (i.e. most motorways and all other trunk roads), to establish a uniformed on-road traffic officer service to manage the traffic consequences of random incidents (such as accidents, obstructions, debris and break downs) and manage programmed highway events such as the passage of abnormal loads. In practice the Welsh Ministers carry out their functions as highway and traffic authority through trunk road agents, who will implement Part 1 on their behalf.
