The text preserves and restates core subject matter — traffic and access control, seizure and sale of vehicles, authorisation of officers and signage requirements — rather than introducing obvious new subject areas. The transitional clauses (secs 21–23) expressly convert existing seizures, authorisations and notices into the new regime, which suggests a continuity rather than a substantial expansion of scope.
