(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order replaces the Isles of Scilly (Road Traffic Regulation) Order 1971.
The 1971 Order made the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1967 (c. 76) apply to the Isles of Scilly as if for some purposes it were a separate county district and for other purposes it were a separate county. The Order modified the 1967 Act in its application to the Isles so that the council of Isles of Scilly was treated as a local authority and a highway authority.
The 1967 Act was amended by subsequent Acts and then re-enacted by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which also re-enacted other legislation.
Under this Order the 1984 Act applies with modification to the Isles as if the Isles were a separate county.
The Council is treated as a county council, a local authority and a highway authority for the purposes of the 1984 Act as so applied. There are other minor modifications.
1984 c. 27. Section 51 was substituted by the Road Traffic Regulation (Parking) Act 1986 (c. 27), section 2(1). Section 35 is prospectively amended and new sections 35A and 35B are prospectively inserted by the Parking Act 1989 (c. 16), sections 1, 2 and 3. The Parking Act 1989 also prospectively makes minor consequential and related amendments to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
