Summary and Recommendation

The proposed amendments to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2018 are necessary to meet the needs of the road network in Scotland. There is an immediate need to provide consistent signing regulations to support the new Low Emission Zone (LEZ) regulations.

Business and regulatory impacts relating directly to the introduction of the 2022 Regulations and General Directions are limited, noting that the 2022 Regulations and General Directions relate only to traffic signing, and that significant policy issues such as the introduction of Low Emission Zones are subject to their own regulations and have been assessed separately.

It is recommended that the amendments to TSRGD, as laid out in Part 3 of this document ('Options') are brought into force through the Traffic Signs Amendment (Scotland) Regulations and General Directions 2022.
