The Orders effective 22nd April 2016.
I've seen what you're referring to now. The statement on the pdf you're looking at on the WBC website says "The Traffic Signs Regulations & General Directions 2016 referred to in the Order and come into effect on 22 April 2016".
That's a reference to the new national regulations on all things traffic related. The previous Traffic Regulations from
2002 have been revised by DfT and it is now the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions
2016 which govern issues related to signs, lighting, road marks etc.
That went before Parliament on 22 March 2016 and came into force 22 April 2016.
TSRGD 2016 There's no date conflict as this is just clarifying that the new regulations have come into force. Not sure there's a real need to make reference to the regulations anyway as obviously it would be the current regulations and legislation which would determine what goes on site.
