1984 c. 27. Section 16(2) and (2A) was substituted by the Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Act 1991 (c. 26), section 1(2); sections 35C and 46A were inserted by the Road Traffic Act 1991 (c. 40), sections 41 and 42; section 134(10) was inserted by the Wales Act 2017 (c. 4), section 69(1), Schedule 6, Part 3, paragraphs 43(1) and (3). In Schedule 9, paragraph 21 was amended by the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (c. 22), Schedule 8, paragraph 80 and Schedule 9; and paragraph 25 was amended by the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, Schedule 8, paragraph 80. By virtue of S.I. 1999/672, and section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32), these powers are now exercisable by the Welsh Ministers in relation to Wales. The references to “national authority” in section 16(2) and (2A), and in Part III of Schedule 9 were inserted by the Scotland Act 2016, (c. 11) and the definition of “national authority” in section 142(1) was amended by the Wales Act 2017, Part 2, section 26(8) so that “national authority” in relation to Wales, means the Welsh Ministers.
