EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make an amendment to regulation 4 of the Road Works (Maintenance) (Scotland) Regulations 1992 to clarify that regulation 4 may apply following any inspection by a road works authority rather than only following an inspection under regulation 3 of those Regulations.
1991 c.22; see section 163(1) of that Act for the definition of "prescribed". The functions of the Secretary of State, so far as they are exercisable within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).
Section 163A was inserted by section 39 of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005 (asp 12).
S.I. 1992/1673.
