The Kent County Council (Filming on Highways) Act 2010 (c. iv) is a local
London to gain legal powers to enforce the temporary closure of roads to be used as film locations.[1] The act removed an uncertainty regarding provisions over the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and allows up to six film orders to be issued on any road in Kent in a calendar year. Any order made remains in force for a maximum of seven days with notices lasting twenty-four hours and prevents film crews from being prosecuted for obstructing a stretch of road under the Highways Act 1980.[2]
