ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984

The Traffic Director for London, following a direction given to him by the Secretary of State under section 58(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1991 to implement a Trunk Road Local Plan, hereby gives notice that he made the above-named experimental Order under sections 9 and 10 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 on 21st January 1998. The Order comes into effect on 6th February 1998 and can remain in force for up to 18 months.   The general nature and effect of the Order will be to:   (i) prohibit vehicles travelling north-west on the trunk road using the gap in the central reserve at Underhill Road;   (ii) prohibit vehicles travelling north-west on the trunk road using the gap in the central reserve at Wood Vale;   (iii) prohibit vehicles travelling north-west on the trunk road using the gap in the central reserve between Wood Vale and a point 15 metres north of the junction with Underhill Road. Buses being used to provide a local service and turning right to access Underhill Road will be exempted from the Order.   The road affected by the Order is the A205 Lordship Lane in the London Borough of Southwark.   While the Order is in force the Traffic Director for London, or some person authorised by him, may modify or suspend the Order or any provisions in it if it appears essential to do so for certain purposes.   In due course the Traffic Director for London will be considering whether or not the provisions of the Order should be continued in force indefinitely. Within the period of six months from the coming into force of the Order, or if the Order is subsequently varied by another Order or modified, from the coming into force of that variation or modification (whichever is the latest), any person may object to the making of an Order to continue indefinitely those provisions. Any such objection must be made in writing, giving the grounds on which it is made, and sent to the Traffic Director for London, College House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3LN, quoting Ref. A8.1.4.TO/394. Any objection may be communicated to other persons who may be affected.   A copy of the Order, a statement of the Traffic Director for London’s reasons for the proposals and for proceeding by way of experiment, a map indicating the location and effect of the Order and copies of any Order revoked, suspended or varied by the Order can be inspected during normal office hours at the offices of The Traffic Director for London, College House, Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3LN, and London Borough of Southwark, Council Offices, Chiltern House, Portland Street, London SE17 2ES.
