To improve the amenities of the development and maintain the access into the development; new traffic restrictions are to be introduced. The new restrictions will protect junctions and turning head against obstructive, inconsiderate parking.
It is proposed to introduce a Traffic Regulation Order as ‘No Waiting At Any Time’ parking restrictions on specific areas of Worsley Road North, Thorpe Street and Elms Close as indicated on the attached plans. This will stop vehicles from parking on the footway, which were causing damage to the footway and possibly a hinderance to the pedestrians.
The restrictions would always provide visibility for vehicles and pedestrians at junctions. This is to maintain traffic flows and maintain visibility at the junction for vehicles safe access to the new development, as well as keeping clear the turning head for service vehicles to turn round in, so that they do not have to reverse long distance, creating a hazard to other road users.
Details of the proposals are set out in the accompanying documents and plan.
