About this statute

This Part sets up concession agreements and toll orders for special roads, lets concessionaires charge tolls and exercise specified highway functions, and imposes rules for consultation, reporting, exemptions, and enforcement. This Part sets rules for street works, including notices, licensing, coordination, traffic management, and reinstatement of streets. The provision sets rules for street works: undertakers must pay inspection fees, keep apparatus records and upload them to NUAR, maintain apparatus, and comply with various consultation, notice, and safety requirements. This provision gives the Secretary of State powers and duties about NUAR, regulations, guidance, fees, and related information handling, and imposes duties and penalties on undertakers in relation to entering information and complying with directions. This text sets out rules for Scottish road works, including designations for special engineering difficulties and traffic-sensitive roads, duties on undertakers to make works safe and reinstate roads, inspection and fee rules, and offences and fines for non-compliance.
