City of Salford (Breck Road, Dartford Avenue, Kearsley Street, Leamington Road and Woodford Avenue, Barton and Winton) (Prohibition of Waiting Order 2024

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 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
