City of Salford (Newhaven Business Park, Salford) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2022

The Council of the City of Salford 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 Part lV of Schedule 9 to 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:

• 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.

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 side of length of road specified in the Schedule to this Order.

Exemption from prohibition - general exemptions

Nothing in Article 3 of this Order shall prevent any person to cause or permit any vehicle to wait on the length of road referred to in that Article for so long as may be necessary to enable:

• a person to board or alight from the vehicle;
• the vehicle, if it cannot conveniently be used for such purpose in any other road, to be used in connection with any of the following operations, namely:
  • building, industrial or demolition operations;
  • the removal of any obstruction to traffic;
  • the maintenance, improvement or reconstruction of the said length of road;  or
  • the laying, erection, alteration or repair, in or on land adjacent to the said length of road, of any sewer or of any main, pipe or apparatus for the supply of gas, water or electricity or of any telecommunications apparatus defined in the Telecommunications Act 1984;

Exemption for disabled persons' vehicles

Nothing in Article 3 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 other person in charge of the vehicle, has marked the time at which the period of waiting began) to wait on the length of road referred to in that Article for a period not exceeding three hours (not being a period separated by an interval of less than one hour from a previous period of waiting by the same vehicle on the same length of road on the same day).

20mph speed limit

• Blyth Avenue

• Montgomery Street
• Falkirk Drive
• Anderton Lane
• Grantham Crescent

Statement of reasons

The proposed No Waiting At Any Time restrictions will ensure safe access and egress, in to and out of the new development off Barton Lane. The restrictions in the cul-da sacs ends will also allow turning maneuverers for larger service and emergency vehicles to turn round and exit in a forward gear negating the need to reverse long distance.

It is necessary to introduce these restrictions to deter vehicles from parking along the assess road compromising access, and visibility, for both vehicles and pedestrians, they will also ensure service vehicles can safely access the area and maneuverer in and out of the development.

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