Made: 30th January 1998

Coming into force: 2nd February 1998

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 1991¹ and in exercise of the powers conferred on the Secretary of State by section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984², and of all other enabling powers, hereby makes the following Order:–

1

This Order may be cited as The A3 Trunk Road (Kingston and Wandsworth) (Temporary 30mph Speed Restriction) Order 1998 and shall come into force on the 2nd February 1998.

2

3

During the period starting at 00.01 hours on 2 February 1998 and ending at 23:59 on 31 July 1999 or when those works have been completed, whichever is the sooner, subject to the provisions of article 4 below, no person shall cause or permit any vehicle to travel at a speed exceeding 30mph those lengths of road specified in the schedule to this order.
