The Greater London Road Traffic (Various Provisions) Order 2001

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes provision in relation to the road traffic functions of Transport for London, additional to that made in Chapter XIV of Part IV of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.

Article 3 amends section 124A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 so that references in that section to GLA roads are to be treated as not including references to GLA side roads. Articles 4, 5 and 6 amend sections 100 to 102 of that Act so as to confer on Transport for London the powers of local authorities under certain provisions relating to the removal and disposal of vehicles on roads. Article 7 amends the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986 so that parking attendants acting on behalf of Transport for London may remove vehicles from roads in Greater London in accordance with those Regulations. Article 8 amends the definition of “London authority” in section 82(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1991.
