2.This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared by the Department for Regional Development (“the Department”) to assist the reader in understanding the Order. It does not form part of the Order and is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the Order.
3.The Order makes provision for the civil enforcement of specified traffic contraventions - initially relating to prohibitions and restrictions on waiting and parking - and contains powers which have a similar effect to those in Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 which applies to England and Wales.
