EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

AMENDMENTS OF THE MOTOR TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

No. 1 of 1961

	By clauses 1, 2, 5, and 6, Part III of the Regulations (Parking and Rules of the Road) together with definitions used therein and Schedules dependent thereon are repealed as these provisions (so far as necessary) have been included in the Principal Ordinance by the Motor Traffic Ordinance 1960.

	The opportunity has been taken to make the following minor amendments :-

	(a)	Those parts of regulation 11 which deal with fees for trailers carrying producer gas equipment have been omitted.

	(b)	Regulation 11C and the Fifth Schedule specify a particular type of number plate for a trailer.  Following the amendment, the number plate for a trailer will be the one issued on registration, and it will not have to conform with any specification.  No change in the plate is contemplated, but it could be altered without having to amend the law.
