ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984

STREATHAM COMMON AREA - NEW ROAD SAFETY SCHEME INTRODUCTION OF WAITING RESTRICTIONS IN LEIGHAM COURT ROAD AND ETHERSTONE ROAD

(NOTE: This notice is about the introduction of ‘at any time’ waiting restrictions on vehicles (indicated on the ground by double yellow lines) in parts of Leigham Court Road and Etherstone Road.) 1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Lambeth Borough Council on 1st November 2006 made the Lambeth (Waiting and Loading Restriction) (Special Parking Area) (Amendment No. 118) Order 2006 under sections 6 and 124 of and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The Order will come into force on 6th November 2006. 2. The general effect of the Order will be to ban waiting by vehicles at any time (except for the purpose of loading or unloading a vehicle, subject to certain circumstances and time limits) in: (a) Leigham Court Road, the west side, from a point 10 metres north of Etherstone Road to a point 16 metres south of Etherstone Road; and (b) Etherstone Road, both sides, within 10 metres of its junction with Leigham Court Road. 3. The above waiting restrictions are part of a wider scheme to improve road safety in the Streatham Common Area that includes the future implementation of a 20 mph speed limit zone and also the provision of road humps. The waiting restrictions are necessary to prevent parking at a road junction so as to improve visibility for drivers and reduce conflict between vehicles and pedestrians crossing the road. 4. If you have any enquiries, please telephone Lambeth Council’s Transport and Highways Group on 0207 926 2233. 5. Documents giving more detailed particulars of the Order are available for inspection between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm on Mondays to Fridays inclusive until the last day of a period of six weeks beginning with the date on which the Order is made, at the offices of Lambeth Council’s Transport and Highways Group, 3rd Floor, Blue Star House, 234-244 Stockwell Road, London SW9 9SP. 6. If any person wishes to question the validity of the Order or of any of its provisions on the grounds that it or they are not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any requirement of that Act or of any instrument made under that Act has not been complied with, that person may, within 6 weeks from the date on which the Order is made, apply for the purpose to the High Court.
