The City of Salford (Manchester Road West, Little Hulton) (Prohibition of Waiting and Restriction of Loading/Unloading) Order 2022 and Proposed Toucan and Zebra Crossing in Little Hulton 

Statement of reasons 

There have been calls for an appropriate controlled crossing facility to be provided due to the amount of traffic on Manchester Road West in Little Hulton. The traffic on this road is still increasing and this causing difficulties for pedestrians and cyclist when trying to cross between the residential area to the north and Peel Park to the south. Crossing this busy main road is especially problematic during peak periods and makes crossing particularly hazardous for the more vulnerable road users, young, old and those with mobility difficulties.

It has therefore been proposed to implement the proposed crossing, along with some small additions to the existing No Waiting At Any Time restrictions and the Peak hour Loading restrictions, in the interest of maintaining a high level of safety in the vicinity of the new controlled crossing.

The proposed pedestrian crossing and associated amendments to the waiting and loading restrictions in close proximity to the crossing will provide a much needed safe and accessible pedestrian and cycle crossing point, greatly improving connectivity between the two residential estates on the north and south of Manchester Road West, benefiting the local community, especially the most vulnerable road users.
