[2][3] This banned refuse collection and the driving of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, asses and mules through the streets between 10 am and 7 pm and required stagecoaches only to stop on the left-hand side of the road and any adverts carried by persons on foot, horseback or in a vehicle to be approved by the Metropolitan and City police commissioners, at a maximum penalty of 10 shillings, though this was not to apply to adverts for newspaper sales.

[b] The police commissioners were also granted the power to add or remove streets from the act's "Special Limits", subject to having that decision approved by a principal Secretary of State and then advertising it on or near that street for ten days before it came into effect.

Coal could not be unloaded on footpaths within the Special Limits nor machinery or ropes set up to unload casks across such footpaths between 10am and 6pm other than for wine and spirit casks, whilst carts with more than four horses or carrying scaffolding, ladders or timber were also banned on roads within the Special Limits between 10am and 7pm.

[1] This covered further specific instances, such as hackney carriages, requiring them to display a "Plate or Mark" showing they had been checked and authorised by the commissioners, banning their use at night without having at least one external lamp[c] and allowing any hackney carriage on a stand to charge a minimum fare of 1 shilling.
