THE NEWHAM (PRESCRIBED ROUTE) (NO. *) TRAFFIC ORDER 2017
PROPOSED CONTRAFLOW CYCLING IN CERTAIN ONE WAY STREETS
PROPOSED EXEMPTION FOR BUSES FROM A BANNED RIGHT TURN
1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Newham proposes to make the above mentioned Orders under Sections 6 and 124 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended.
2. The general effect of the Orders would be to:
(a) revoke and re-enact the provisions of various prescribed route orders which impose one-way working for traffic so as to introduce exemptions for pedal cycles to enable contraflow cycling (riding against the existing one way workings) in the roads and lengths of roads specified in the Schedule to this Notice; and
(b) revoke and re-enact the provisions of the Newham (Prescribed Route) (No. 7) Traffic Order 1997, which imposed a banned right turn for traffic from Romford Road into Water Lane, so that buses would now be exempt and able to make that right turn.
3. Documents giving more detailed particulars of the Orders can be inspected from 9am to 5pm on Monday to Friday at Newham Dockside, 1000 Dockside Road E16 2QU, until six weeks after the date on which the Orders are made or until the proposed Orders are withdrawn, as appropriate.
4. Further information can be obtained by telephoning 020 3373 7116.
5. All objections and other representations relating to the proposed Orders must be made in writing by 7 September 2017. All objections must specify the grounds on which they are made. They should be sent to the Interim Head of Commissioning (Highways and Traffic), London Borough of Newham, 3rd Floor West, Newham Dockside, 1000 Dockside Road, London E16 2QU or by email to: traffic.orders@newham.gov.uk
6. Anyone objecting to the proposed Orders should be aware that in view of the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 this Council may be obliged to make any comments in respect of this Notice open to public inspection.
