The Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1999

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke the Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1996 and replace them with new provisions.

The principal changes are:

(a) Lighting for road humps may either be a system of street lighting complying with the British Standard for road lighting under number BS 5489 or a system of equivalent standard published by a national standards body or equivalent body of any EEA State before 28th April 1999. The 1996 Regulations included any system of street lighting which complied with a European standard, published after that Order had come into force

(b) The signing and lighting provisions and certain provisions relating to the placing of road humps do not apply to a road hump in a 20mph zone.

British Standard 5489 may be obtained from any outlet operated by the British Standards Institution (BSI) or by post from BSI at 389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL (Telephone number: 0181–996–9000).
