Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order extends to the City of Edinburgh new arrangements for enforcing parking controls already available in London and certain other areas in England. It does so by designating the City of Edinburgh (with certain specified exceptions) as a permitted parking area and as a special parking area in accordance with Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991. The Order applies to the designated area various provisions of the 1991 Act and modifies them where necessary. It also makes consequential modifications to certain provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 dealing with parking and related matters.
While the Order is in force certain specified offences will be discriminalised: for example, in the case of the permitted parking area, breaches of orders relating to free on-street parking places and in the case of orders prohibiting or restricting waiting, loading and unloading.
Enforcement will be carried out by parking attendants provided under section 63A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. A system of parking adjudicators will deal with disputes.
