STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR PROPOSING TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING ORDER

THE THREE RIVERS VARIOUS ROADS INCLUDING BRIDGE ROAD, HUNTON BRIDGE (WAITING PROHIBITIONS) ORDER 20**

The Three Rivers District Council has investigated reports of inconvenient and/or obstructive and/or hazardous on-street parking at the various locations the subject of this traffic regulation order.

Observations have confirmed that a significant number of incidences of obstructive parking take place and that in most instances the parking also reduces visibility at junctions to the detriment of highway safety.

The Council is therefore proposing the implementation of waiting prohibitions which would remove dangerous and/or obstructive parking and reinstate the unobstructed and safe movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Junction Parking It is necessary to remove parking from the junctions

a) To enable drivers to see left and right before entering the junction and to maintain a reasonable length of 2-way carriageway to accommodate vehicles waiting their turn to move to the give-way line or to clear the junction in the face of oncoming traffic.

b) To enable pedestrians to see in all directions before crossing the roads.

The proposed waiting restrictions will enable the Council’s Enforcement Service to issue penalty charge notices to those who wait on the lines.

The proposals were finalised in consultation with The Police and, where appropriate, Officers and Members of the Hertfordshire County Council and the Three Rivers District Council.
