In this Order—
“the 1984 Act” means the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984;
“the 1991 Act” means the Road Traffic Act 1991;
a reference in the Schedule to a number followed by the letter “m” is a reference to that number of metres; and
where a road referred to in the Schedule to this Order (“the main road”) is joined by another road (“the side road”), whether or not that other road is referred to in the Schedule, and the footway to the main road runs on either side of the mouth of the side road, the junction between the two roads shall be taken to be an imaginary line drawn across the mouth of the side road between the respective ends of the back line of the footway to the main road on each side.
1984 c. 27; section 55 is amended by paragraph 5 of Schedule 7 to the Road Traffic Act 1991. Section 101 is amended by section 67 and section 102 by section 68 of that Act.
