THE TRAFFIC Management Bill, which became law last week (22 July). has received a qualified welcome from various road transport organisations.
The new act gives local authorities and the Highways Agency greater ability to tackle traffic hold-ups, with more powers for traffic wardens.
Steve Williams. policy affairs manager with the Road Haulage A ssociation,says:"Anything that helps to keep traffic moving is something we welcome. But we would like traffic wardens to be a bit more sensitive to the needs of truck drivers.
-If they were, it might put an end to the situations where drivers are getting tickets just for hopping out of the cab to check where they can park."
The new regulations require traffic wardens to keep traffic moving on their roads — local authorities will get specific powers to stop utility companies digging up the same road again and again.
The changes are particularly significant for London. where Transport for London will be given greater powers to manage strategic roads, alongside the extra powers given to 33 local authorities in the capital.
