Permitted expressions of days, dates, times, time periods & time limits

Schedule 18 Parts 1 and 2

3.6
As explained in paragraph 2.6, the new structure of TSRGD sees a shift away from the illustration of complete signs in favour of a menu approach, with directional and parking signs derived from component parts. As a result, the permitted formats for days, times, time periods and time limits are no longer illustrated.
3.7
To ensure national consistency, Regulation 6 requires that all expressions of days, dates, times and time periods must be displayed as specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 18.
3.8
Part 1 contains permitted expressions of year, month, day, time of day, bank and public holidays, as well as "at any time". The following legends are now prescribed: "at all times", "at other times" and "additional times". In addition, "market day", "event day" and "match day" waiting restrictions are now prescribed - each may be preceded by "next" as appropriate. Pluralisation and capitalisation are allowed for as appropriate.
3.9
Part 2 - provides other expressions of time limit appropriate for use on parking signs only. "No return to" (together with the name of a zone or parking place), and "No return to this zone" are also prescribed.

Permitted expressions of distance

Schedule 18 Part 3

3.10
Permitted expressions of distance, previously prescribed in Schedule 16 items 4 to 8, have been simplified. More flexibility has been introduced, and the appropriate use of distances is set out in Table 3.1.
