Additional responsibilities concerning road transport

20: Traffic surveys not to be conducted unless approved by Agency

You could also call this:

“You must ask for permission before doing a traffic survey on roads”

You need to get permission from the Agency before you do a traffic survey on a road. A traffic survey is when you might need to stop, slow down, or change the direction of cars on the road. You have to ask the Agency in writing before you start.

The Agency can say yes or no to your request. They might also say yes, but with some rules you need to follow. If you don’t follow these rules, the Agency can tell you to stop your survey right away.
