In this Order:

• “Disabled Person’s Badge” has the same meaning as in The Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) (England) Regulations 2000;
• “Disabled Person’s Vehicle” means a vehicle lawfully displaying a disabled person’s badge being a vehicle which, immediately before or after any period of waiting allowed by virtue of a provision of a kind required by the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Exemptions for Disabled Persons) (England) Regulations 2000 to be included in an order under the Act, has been or is to be used for carrying disabled persons as passengers;
• “Parking Disc” means a disc, issued by a local authority, 125 millimetres square, coloured blue and capable of showing the quarter hour period during which a period of waiting begins, which has not ceased to be valid.

For the purpose of this Order a vehicle shall be regarded as displaying:

• Disabled Person’s Badge in the relevant position if:
  • the badge is exhibited on the dashboard or facia of the vehicle, or
  • where the vehicle is not fitted with a dashboard or facia, the badge is exhibited in a conspicuous position on the vehicle,
  • so that the front of the badge is clearly legible from the outside of the vehicle;
• a Parking Disc in the relevant position if:
  • the disc is exhibited on the dashboard or facia of the vehicle; or
  • where the vehicle does not have a dashboard or facia, the disc is exhibited in a conspicuous position on the vehicle,
  • so that, when marked to show the quarter-hour period during which a period of waiting began, that period is clearly legible from the outside of the vehicle.
• The Interpretation Act 1978 shall apply for the interpretation of this Order as it applies for the interpretation of an Act of Parliament.

Statement of Reasons

The City of Salford (Wet Earth Green, Roving Bridge, Kilcoby Avenue and Giants Set Grove) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2022

It has been proposed to introduce a permanent Traffic Regulation Order for a series of No Waiting At Any Time parking restrictions on Wet Earth Green, Roving Bridge Rise, Kilcoby Avenue & Giants Seat Grove in the Pendlebury and Clifton ward. The area is a residential estate with minimal waiting restrictions throughout the estate and it is part of a 20mph zone. Vehicles are parking close to the junctions and bends compromising visibility and access for service vehicles. This creates a road safety concern for both pedestrians and motorists negotiating the area. 

The proposals are required in the interests of road safety to prevent obstructive and inconsiderate parking assisting in providing adequate visibility and room for service vehicles to manoeuvre in safety. The proposals will keep the junctions, bends and turning heads clear and allow safe access and egress of the vehicles.
