City of Salford (Bradburn Road, Cromwell Road and Station Road (Prohibition of Waiting, School Keep Clear and Amendment) Order 2023

Statement of reasons

There have been complaints by the local community about the inconsiderate parking which is taking place on Cromwell Road. This is mostly by drivers who are visiting the school and also those who are using Irlam Railway Station. It has therefore been proposed to introduce double yellow lines on the north side of Cromwell Road between junctions with Station Road and Bradburn Road.

It is necessary to introduce new waiting restrictions on the north side of Cromwell Road between Station Road and Bradburn Road to prevent vehicles parking. This will create a safer environment for all road users. The proposed double yellow lines will increase visibility for both junctions as well as for the car park and garages located on the north side of Cromwell Road between junctions Bradburn Road and Station Road.

Additionally the School Keep Clear on Station Road has been reviewed as vehicles are often parking on the restrictions.

City of Salford (Bradburn Road, Cromwell Road and Station Road) (Prohibition of Waiting, School Keep Clear and Amendment) Order 2023

Salford City Council in exercise of its powers under Sections 1(1), 2(1) to (3) and 4(2), 32 (1) and 35(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 ("the Act"), and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Act and of all other enabling powers and after consultation with the Chief Officer of Police for the County of Greater Manchester in accordance with Part III of Schedule 9 to the Act, hereby makes the following Order:

Interpretation

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.
• “School Entrance” means the length of road specified in Schedule 3 to this Order with a road marking to diagram 1027.1 and a sign to Schedule 4, Part 3, Item 10 that has been placed on the road in accordance with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016

  • 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.
