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;
• “delivering” and “collecting” in relation to postal packets includes checking the goods for the purposes of their delivery or collection:
• “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.

Statement of Reason

Salford City Council (Swinton Hall Road Area, Swinton Park) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2022 under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984

It is proposed to introduce a permanent Traffic Regulation Order for a series of ‘No Waiting At Any Time’(NWAAT) parking restrictions on Swinton Hall Road, Dawson Street, Bridge Street, Hope Street, Lottie Street, Albion Street and Old Mill Close in the Swinton Park ward. Several junctions are proposed with 10m extents of NWAAT restrictions in accordance with rule 243 of the Highway Code.

This area consists of predominantly commercial businesses which tend to require larger vehicles turning into and exiting from these streets. There are garages in the area which take advantage of the unrestricted on-street parking resulting in vehicles being parked close to junctions. This creates a road safety concern for both pedestrians and motorists negotiating the area.

The proposals are required in the interests of road safety in the Swinton Hall Road area, as it will ensure adequate visibility and room for larger vehicles to manoeuvre in safety, thus allowing safer access and egress. The restriction will prevent inconsiderate and obstructive parking that blocks sight lines and allow service and emergency vehicles to access safely.

The above proposals will provide a safe and accessible road for all road users.

Details of the proposals are set out on this page and in the plan.
