City of Salford (Barton Lane and Crowngreen Road – Barton And Winton) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023

Salford City Council in exercise of its powers under Sections 1(1), 2(1) to (3) and 4(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 ("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.

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

• a 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.

No waiting at any time

  • building, industrial or demolition operations;
  • the removal of any obstruction to traffic;
  • the maintenance, improvement or reconstruction of the said length of road; or
  • the laying, erection, alteration or repair, in or on land adjacent to the said length of road, of any sewer or of any main, pipe or apparatus for the supply of gas, water or electricity or of any telecommunications apparatus defined in the Telecommunications Act 1984;
• the vehicle, if it cannot conveniently be used for such purpose in any other road, to be used in the service of a local authority or a water authority in pursuance of statutory powers or duties;

Crowngreen Road

• For its entire length

Statement of Reasons

It has been noted that the residents of the area are parking on Barton Lane, mostly on the footway outside “Crown House” which is at time impeding or preventing pedestrians from accessing the footway, especially those with prams, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Meaning they either must cross the road or walk in the carriageway to get past offending vehicles.

The proposals will protect the Junction of Crowngreen Road and Barton Lane, ensuring access for all vehicles including service and emergency vehicles. They will also ensure visibility sight lines, so all road users can see and be seen, when accessing or exiting Crowngreen Road or crossing the junction.

Additionally, the proposals will protect the footway fronting Crown House so that pedestrians are able to use the footway without having to cross the road or walk in the carriageway. The proposed bus stop clearway will protect the bus stop area, allowing buses to pull up to the kerb safely.

It will also allow safe and easy access for all passengers especially the most vulnerable passengers including those with mobility or visibility difficulties.
