The new TSRGD also allows the signing of historic county boundaries, although these may not be placed as a substitute for administrative boundaries, which remain prescribed. It should be noted that photographs are not permitted to mark the boundary of an historic or ceremonial county.
Traffic orders
3.48
In order to reduce cost and bureaucracy associated with placing bus stop clearways, TSRGD 2002 removed the requirement to make an underpinning traffic order in respect of these markings. TSRGD 2016 extends this by removing the need for a traffic order for mandatory with-flow cycle lanes and stopping restrictions on school entrance markings.
Type approval of traffic signal approval equipment
3.49
Under direction 56 of TSRGD 2002, traffic control equipment (e.g. equipment used to control traffic lights and variable message signs) could only be used having first obtained type approval from the Secretary of State. Over time this mechanism failed to keep pace with developments in the industry, and was in need of reform.
3.50
While recognising that for some form of approval or registration process was still needed, the decision was taken to remove the statutory type approval requirement. Certain safety critical elements previously set out in technical specifications are now prescribed in TSRGD 2016, such as the amber time and safety classes for controllers by reference to the relevant BS EN Standard.
