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;

  • 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.

Statement of reasons

The proposals will protect the pedestrian crossing points and maintain forward visibility, for both drivers and pedestrians. The measures will also help ensure access for all vehicles is maintained, including emergency and service vehicles. These could otherwise be obstructed / prevented from gaining access, if vehicles are parked on or close to this junction, restricting access especially for larger vehicles.

As such the TRO is essential to maintain safe access and egress for all vehicles pedestrians and cyclists and for consistency the new road will be included in the new 20mph streets order for Little Hulton and Walkden.
