2. Introduction
2.1
The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2016 (SI 2016 No 362) came into force on 22 April 2016. It revokes the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 and replaces them with an updated, revised and consolidated TSRGD. The TSRGD amendments made in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2011 have been revoked and incorporated into the new TSRGD.
2.2
A list of statutory instruments consolidated into TSRGD 2016 is given in Table 2.1. TSRGD 2016 also incorporates the non-prescribed traffic signs authorised in 2011 and 2012 by the Secretary of State for use by English local authorities. Copies of TSRGD 2016 are available from TSO at £65.00 each. Also available online at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/contents/made
