Meadow Road area statement of reasons

For prohibition of waiting proposals and 20mph speed limit

Meadow Road area is close to Salford university and is affected by inconsiderate and obstructive parking, causing access issues for service vehicles, and reducing visibility sight lines for other road users. As such it is necessary to provide the proposed junction and turning head restrictions to maintain access for all vehicles and visibility sight lines.

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.
