Article 42: Relationship between traffic regulation orders and earlier provisions
This Article makes it clear that the powers that the Department has under Article 4 of the 1997 Order include powers which it had under Articles 21 or 22 of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1981. This Article also removes the requirement for the Department to consult on orders which it makes under Article 4 of the 1997 Order which revoke or reproduce provisions made under Article 21 or 22 of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1981.
