In this order:

• “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.

Statement of reasons

There have been complaints about parking on Parsonage Road in the vicinity of where the loop line (pedestrian and cycle track) crosses Parsonage Road.

In addition to this there have also been requests for more pedestrian dropped crossing points to be provided along Parsonage Road and Tynesbank.

As such it is proposed to implement additional No Waiting At Any Time restrictions, to maintain highway safety in the vicinity of the loop line area and also to ensure junctions are kept clear once the proposed pedestrian access crossing points are installed, to ensuring sight lines and therefore visibility and safety is maintained for all road users.
