The A282 Trunk Road (Dartford-Thurrock Crossing Charging Scheme) (Amendment) Order 2020
Part III of the Transport Act 2000 authorises the Secretary of State to make, amend or revoke a trunk road charging scheme in respect of roads for which a strategic highways company is the traffic authority, and which are carried by a bridge, or pass through a tunnel, of at least 600 metres in length. Subject to the exceptions outlined in the Appointment of a Strategic Highways Company Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/376), Highways England Company Limited (company number 9346363) was appointed as the highway authority for all highways within England for which the Secretary of State was the highway authority immediately before that Order, which includes the A282. Highways England Company Limited is also the traffic authority for these roads by virtue of section 121A(1AB) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27).
