City of Salford (New Kings Head Yard) (Prohibition of Waiting and Loading) Order 2022

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; “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:

1. a disabled person’s badge in the relevant position if:
   1. the badge is exhibited on the dashboard or facia of the vehicle, or
   2. 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
2. a parking disc in the relevant position if:
   1. the disc is exhibited on the dashboard or facia of the vehicle; or 
   2. 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.
3. 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, a civil enforcement officer or a traffic warden, cause or permit any vehicle to wait at any time on the sides of the lengths of road specified in Schedule 1 to this Order.

   1. building, industrial or demolition operations;
   2. the removal of any obstruction to traffic;
   3. the maintenance, improvement or reconstruction of the said length of road; or

7. the vehicle to be used for fire brigade, ambulance or police purposes

Exemption for loading unloading

Nothing in Article 2 of this Order shall prevent any person from causing or permitting any vehicle to wait on any length of road specified in Schedule 1 to this Order for so long as may be necessary to enable goods to be loaded on to or unloaded from the vehicle provided always that no such vehicle may wait for the purpose of loading and unloading at any time on any of the length of road specified in Schedule 2 to this Order.

Exemption for disabled persons' vehicles

Nothing in Article 2 of this Order shall prevent any person to cause or permit a disabled person’s vehicle, which displays in the relevant position a disabled person’s badge and a parking disc (on which the driver or the person in charge of the vehicle, has marked the time at which the period of waiting began) to wait on any of the length of road referred to in that Article for a period not exceeding 3 hours (not being a period separated by an interval of less than 1 hour from a previous period of waiting by the same vehicle on the same length of road on the same day) provided always that no such vehicle shall wait at any time on any of the length of road specified in Schedule 2 to this Order.

Schedule 1

No waiting at any time

• New Kings Head Yard - both sides, from its junction with Chapel Street, in a north westerly direction up to and including its cul-de-sac end (full length)

Schedule 2

No loading/unloading at any time

• New Kings Head Yard - south west side, from its junction with Chapel Street, in a north westerly direction to its cul-de-sac end

Statement of reasons

New Kings Head Yard is a short narrow road. allowing access to ‘City Suites’ development bin store and delivery doors. It also provides access onto a small car park. Any parking on this road would hinder or prevent access for delivery vehicles and could impact access to the car park. There is also a narrow footway on one side only, which if parked on would force pedestrians to walk in the carriageway.

It is therefore proposed to introduce 'No waiting at any time' on both sides of the road for the full length and 'No loading/unloading at any time” on the footway side (south west side) to:

• prevent inconsiderate and obstructive parking, hindering deliveries, collections and emergency services’ vehicles;
• ensure that pedestrians can access the footway at all times, without the need to walk in the carriageway due to parked vehicles; and
• maintain access to the car park at the end of this short narrow road.
