The undertaker shall consult with the traffic authority as to the placing of signs.

A traffic authority or other authority having power under or by virtue of the 1984 Act to place and maintain, or cause to be placed and maintained, traffic signs on or near any street along which the authorised street tramways are laid shall consult with the undertaker as to the placing of any traffic sign which would affect the operation of the authorised street tramways.

Tramcars shall be taken to be public service vehicles for the purposes of section 122(2)(c) of the 1984 Act.

Expressions used in this article and in the 1984 Act shall have the same meaning in this article as in that Act.
