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

• Save as provided in Article 3 of this Order no person shall, except upon the direction or with the permission of a constable in uniform or a civil enforcement officer, cause or permit any vehicle to wait at any time on the lengths of road specified the Schedule to this Order.

City of Salford (Eaton Works, Worsley) (20 MPH Speed Limit Zone) Order 2022

Salford City Council in exercise of its powers under Sections 82 and 84 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (hereinafter called "the Act") and of all other enabling powers and having consulted 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.

In this order:

• "Special Forces" means those units of the armed forces of the Crown the maintenance of whose capabilities is the responsibility of the Director of Special Forces or which are for the time being subject to the operational command of that Director.
• The Interpretation Act 1978 shall apply for the interpretation of this Order as it   applies for the interpretation of an Act of Parliament.

20 mph speed limit zone

• The roads specified in the Schedule to this Order that are restricted roads shall cease to be restricted roads for the purposes of section 81 of the Act.
• No person shall drive any motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 20 miles per hour on the roads specified in the Schedule to this order.
• No speed limit imposed by this order applies to the vehicles falling within Regulation 3(4) of the Road Traffic Exemptions (Special Forces) (Variation and Amendment) Regulations 2011 when used in accordance with Regulation 3(5) of those Regulations.

Statement of reasons

In connection with the redevelopment of the Eaton Works Site, east of Worsley Road North, the need for traffic restrictions in the vicinity has been reviewed.

It is proposed to introduce a Traffic Regulation Order to ensure the area around the new access to the development is kept clear by providing junction protections at these entry points. This will maintain visibility sightlines for drivers and pedestrians, ensuring safety at junctions.

Additionally, No Waiting At Any Time restrictions are proposed on the sharp bends within the development, which will allow vehicles to turn safely and manoeuvre around these streets. This will also ensure that sightlines for pedestrians are kept clear as far as possible.

As the development is mainly residential in nature, it is also proposed to make the roads within the development part of a 20mph Zone, in line with government proposals to make all residential estates 20mph where appropriate.

The No Waiting At Any Time restrictions and 20mph Zone will ensure safe access / egress and travel around the new development.
