SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL (DISTRICT OF FOREST HEATH) (STOPPING, WAITING AND LOADING PROHIBITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AND ON-STREET PARKING PLACES) (MAP-BASED) ORDER 2019 (PARISH OF RED LODGE) (VARIOUS ROADS) (PROHIBITION AND RESTRICTION OF WAITING) (VARIATION NO.9) ORDER 202-
Suffolk County Council is proposing to introduce No Waiting at Any Time (double yellow lines) on parts of Hundred Acre Way and some adjoining roads to prohibit waiting and to protect the visibility splay at those junctions where parked vehicles currently compromise safety. The measures are also intended to enhance forward visibility and to reduce potential conflict between opposing traffic flows negotiating the bends of Hundred Acre Way.
A short length of No Waiting 8am–6pm daily (single yellow line) is proposed south of the junction with Pippin Court, opposite the rear entrance to St Christopher's Church of England Primary School. This measure will prevent parking during daytime hours, to improve visibility of the existing uncontrolled pedestrian crossing point during those times when the facility is most frequently used. Instances of overtaking traffic being forced into the middle, or even onto the opposite side of the road will be reduced, thus reducing potential conflict between opposing traffic flows in this sensitive location.
In both cases, the purpose of the proposed measures is to avoid danger to persons or other traffic using the road and to prevent the likelihood of any such danger arising.
Finally, a No Stopping Except Buses restriction is proposed for all eight bus stop clearways currently marked along Hundred Acre Way, which shall apply at all times. The purpose of formalising the bus stop clearways is to improve the amenities of the area by preventing on-road parking in the lay-bys and allowing their enforcement to ensure that public transport services can operate safely and efficiently.
Should you wish to provide a formal representation, either objecting or in support of these proposals, please refer to the attached Notice below.
