• “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.
• “School Entrance” means the length of road specified in Column 1 of  Schedule 3 to this Order with a road marking  to diagram 1027.1 and a sign to Schedule 4, Part 3, Item 10 that has been placed on the road in accordance with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016

Statement of reasons

City of Salford (Walkden and Little Hulton) (Restriction of Waiting, School Keep Clear and Revocation) Order 2024

It has been deemed appropriate to produce a new traffic regulation order covering all the school keep clear markings in the Little Hulton and Walkden areas. To identify the street they are on, the starting point and length of the marking.

The proposals will ensure that areas in the vicinity of schools in Little Hulton and Walkden can be protected from obstructive and inconsiderate parking.

Which has the potential to lead to safety concerns for some of our most vulnerable road users, when arriving at or leaving the schools in question.

The proposals will help maintain clear visibility and access to the school footway access point for our most vulnerable road users, so that they can see and be seen by other road users.

Further details on the proposals can be found in the accompanying plan and documents.
