Purpose

Investigations have identified ongoing issues with inconsiderate and unsafe parking around junctions in this area. Such practices are obstructing the free flow of traffic and creating significant road safety concerns. However, evidence indicates that this problem is concentrated at particular times of the day, and feedback from residents has highlighted the need for some on street parking availability outside these peak periods. The revised restrictions will continue to prevent vehicles from parking opposite the bus stop at any time, as parking in this

location reduces visibility for all road users and contributes to delays in all directions due to its close proximity to the junction. The bus stop clearway will ensure unrestricted access for scheduled bus services by prohibiting the stopping, waiting and loading of any vehicle except a bus. The clearway will be in operation between the hours of 6am – midnight daily.
