The Roads Act 1920 (10 & 11 Geo. 5. c. 72) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which established the Road Fund, and introduced tax discs.

Clauses

The act:

  • Required county councils to register all new vehicles and to allocate a separate number to each vehicle,[1] in a continuation of the vehicle registration scheme introduced under the Motor Car Act 1903
  • It clarified the situation regarding cars driven by internal combustion engines, replacing complex previous legislation for different types of vehicle.[1]
  • Provision for the collection and application of the excise duties on mechanically-propelled vehicles and on carriages.[2]
  • Creation of the Road Fund.[2]
