Commentary on Sections Section 14 – Commencement
26.The provisions in the Act surrounding the maps, the development of local transport plan policies, the continuous improvement duty, the provision for walkers and cyclists in highway construction and improvement and guidance about disabled walkers and cyclists will come into force following a commencement order. This is to reflect to amount of time it will require for each local authority to prepare their maps. The other provisions will come into force once the Act has received Royal Assent.
