The Road Traffic Act 1991 (Amendment of Schedule 3) (Scotland) Order 1998
This Order, which extends to Scotland only, amends Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 by applying to Scotland that Schedule as already amended for England and Wales. Schedule 3 enables the designation of permitted and special parking areas outside London. The effect of the amendments is to include within Schedule 3 certain provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27) so that parking contraventions will give rise to a civil liability by the imposition of a penalty charge rather than being dealt with as criminal offences.
