the word " sign " means a metal plate which has delineated thereon the word " bus " and is affixed to a support situate at the side of the roadway, whether erected specially to support such plate or already existing for some other purpose and whether actually on such roadway or on the adjoining footway or other ground.

(2) In addition to the provisions of the next preceding bye-law of these bye-laws, the following provisions shall apply and have effect in relation to the conditions under which vehicles may be kept or left stationary in streets in the Dublin Metropolitan Area at places in those streets which are neither parking places nor places at which such waiting is for the time being prohibited by the principal bye-laws as amended by these bye-laws, that is to say :—
