Amendments Nos. 19 and 133 are related and may be discussed together.
SECTION 9.
Chairman
I move amendment No. 19:
In page 10, after line 44, to insert the following subsection:
"(2) A reference in any enactment or instrument to a national road shall be deemed to be a reference to a national road as defined in this Act.".
These amendments ensure that references to national roads and motorways in existing Acts, regulations and orders are to national roads and motorways as defined in this Bill rather than in the 1974 Act which is being repealed. An example of the instrument affected would be the Road Traffic General By-Laws (Amendment) Regulations, 1983 which prescribed rules for traffic on motorways. We are basically talking about updating.
Amendment agreed to.
Section 9, as amended, agreed to.
