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;
• “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.
• “owner” in relation to a vehicle means the person by whom such a vehicle is kept and used

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.

City of Salford (City of Salford (Hilton Lane area – Walkden South) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023

Statement of Reasons

Revised proposals have been drawn up covering three developments; Highpoint, Burgess Farm and Burgess Way development to implement a ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (NWAAT) restriction on all the development access points from Hilton Lane. This is to ensure there is safe access to each development by preventing parking close to the junctions which would impede larger vehicles or block visibility sight lines.

The proposal intends to protect access to all three developments, for all vehicles, cycles and pedestrians, allowing a safe amount of manoeuvrability for larger vehicles and also maintain clear visibility for all road users. The restriction will also ensure that the emergency link will be able to be used should it be required.

Additionally, the area is all residential in nature, so an appropriate 20mph speed limit is also proposed to be introduced, in line with government recommendations.

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 that can be downloaded below.
