Paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 provides that certain statutory provisions creating criminal offences for the contravention of parking restrictions are to cease to have effect in a special parking area, while the relevant order under paragraph 2(1) of that Schedule (designating all, or part, of an administrative area outside London a special parking area) is in force.

This Order amends paragraph 2(4) of Schedule 3 by adding to the list of offences which are respectively decriminalised therein, the offence of stopping on a part of a road identified as a stopping place for a bus.
