(Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Gorchymyn)
Mae Atodlen 3 i Ddeddf Traffig Ffyrdd 1991 yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer dynodi ardaloedd parcio a ganiateir ac ardaloedd parcio arbennig. Mae paragraff 1(1) yn rhoi'r pwer i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru (“y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol”) i ddynodi'r cyfan neu unrhyw ran o ardal cyngor sir neu gyngor bwrdeistref sirol yng Nghymru fel ardal barcio a ganiateir yn dilyn cais gan yr awdurdod lleol. Mae paragraff 2(1) yn rhoi pwer cyffelyb mewn perthynas ag ardaloedd parcio arbennig.
Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn wedi'i wneud yn dilyn cais gan Gyngor Sir Gwynedd (“yr awdurdod lleol”) ac ymgynghoriad statudol â Phrif Gwnstabl Heddlu Gogledd Cymru a Chyngor y Tribiwnlysoedd.
Effaith y Gorchymyn hwn yw dynodi'r cyfan o Sir Gwynedd fel ardal barcio a ganiateir ac ardal barcio arbennig ac eithrio yr A55 ar ei hyd, gan gynnwys ei ffyrdd ymuno a'i ffyrdd ymadael (“yr ardal barcio”). Unwaith y mae'r Gorchymyn mewn grym, mae amrywiol droseddau parcio o fewn yr ardal barcio yn cael eu dad-droseddoli. Mae gorfodi yn peidio â bod yn gyfrifoldeb yr heddlu ac yn dod yn gyfrifoldeb yr awdurdod lleol. Rhoddir pwer i swyddogion parcio a gyflogir gan yr awdurdod lleol (neu a gyflogir fel swyddogion parcio gan berson y mae'r awdurdod lleol wedi gwneud trefniadau ag ef) i osod hysbysiadau cosb ar gerbydau sy'n torri rheoliadau parcio a chânt, mewn achosion priodol, awdurdodi llusgo ymaith neu barlysu cerbydau.
Yn rhinwedd y Gorchymyn, mae'r ffioedd cosb yn yr ardal barcio i'w gosod gan yr awdurdod lleol gan roi ystyriaeth i ganllawiau a roddir gan y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. Gall yr awdurdod lleol eu hadennill fel dyledion sifil. Gwneir darpariaeth ar gyfer gwneud sylwadau i'r awdurdod lleol os digwydd i ffi gosb gael ei rhoi neu os digwydd i gerbyd gael ei lusgo ymaith neu ei barlysu. Gwaith dyfarnwyr parcio a benodwyd gan gyd-bwyllgor a ffurfiwyd yn unol â threfniadau a wnaed o dan adran 101(5) o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol 1972 fydd dyfarnu os cyfyd anghytundebau.
1991 p.40. Cafodd Atodlen 3 ei diwygio gan Orchymyn Ddeddf Traffig Ffyrdd 1991 (Diwygio Atodlen 3) (Cymru a Lloegr) 1996 (O.S. 1996/500), gan Atodlen 7, paragraff 43 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol (Cymru) 1994 (c. 19), a chan Atodlen 13, paragraff 171 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol etc. (Yr Alban) 1994 (p.39).
