I had proposed in this section to amend section 9 of the 2004 Act to prescribe that when travelling on roads with a special speed limit of 20 km/h as specified in by-laws by the relevant local authority, that speed limit will also apply to powered personal transporters. This measure was made with the intention of clarifying that where the maximum design speed of the vehicle is in excess of the special speed limit, the lower of the two limits should automatically apply. Even if we said earlier that there might be provision for a 25 km/h speed limit for certain vehicles, it is better for the lower limit to apply.
