Paragraph 14 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Under the Act, it is for individual authorities to determine how they will frame the duty within the broader range of their responsibilities. For example, it should not undermine an authority’s road safety objectives. Indeed, authorities should plan for both the expeditious and safe movement of all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists. Each authority should set their own objectives for the expeditious movement of traffic within the context of their other obligations, policies and objectives.
