The Traffic Signs (Welsh and English Language Provisions) Regulations and General Directions 1985/Explanatory Note
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Note is not part of the Instrument
Parts I and II of Schedule I to the Traffic Signs Regulations 1981 as amended set out warning and regulatory signs and permitted variants in the English language which are to be used on roads according to the requirements of the Traffic Signs General Directions 1981. In place of these English language signs Regulation 4 of this Instrument enables equivalent signs and permitted variants to be used in Wales which are either the pictorial signs shown in diagrams W650.1 and W629.1 in Schedule 1 of this Instrument, or as regards the remainder of the signs and variants in the Schedule are in both the Welsh and English languages where either language may be used above the other language. Regulation 5 and Direction 3 of this Instrument provides that with certain minor amendments the provisions of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1981 shall apply to the signs and the permitted variants set out in Schedule 1 to this Instrument. Regulation 5 also applies the provisions of the Traffic Signs Regulations 1981 to the characters specified in Schedule 2 to this Instrument which are characters used in the Welsh language. Regulation 6 of this Instrument applies the provisions of any other enactment which makes reference to the signs in the Traffic Signs Regulations 1981 to the signs in Schedule 1 to this Instrument.
