  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends various provisions of the London Local Authorities Act 1996, consequential upon the status of Transport for London (“TfL”) as the traffic authority for GLA roads and GLA side roads. (This status was conferred by amendments to the Highways Act 1980 and the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27) made by sections 259 and 271 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (“the 1999 Act”).) A “GLA road” is a highway or proposed highway in Greater London which is for the time being a GLA road by virtue of section 2(3) of the Highways Act 1980, an order made by the Secretary of State under section 14A of that Act (section 14A was inserted by section 260 of the 1999 Act), or an order made by the Greater London Authority under section 14B of the Highways Act 1980 (section 14B was inserted by section 261 of the 1999 Act). For the meaning of “GLA side road”, see section 124A(9) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, inserted by section 272 of the 1999 Act.\nArticle 2 provides for the amendment of Parts I and II of the London Local Authorities Act 1996. The effect of the amendments set out in the Schedule to the Order is to enable TfL to serve and enforce penalty charge notices with respect to vehicles which contravene or fail to comply with provisions for the reservation of all or part of the carriageway of a GLA road or a GLA side road as a bus lane.",
