More double yellow lines to be painted across the Isle of Wight
Nearly 60 schemes have been proposed by the Isle of Wight Council
More double yellow lines could be installed in areas across the Isle of Wight.
Nearly 60 schemes have been proposed by the Isle of Wight Council to install new parking restrictions or vary them across Newport, Carisbrooke and Gunville.
The proposals have been drawn up, the authority says, after suggestions were made by members of the public or local councillors.
The draft traffic regulation orders (TROs) have recently been published for consultation and residents can have their say until November 3.
Along Clatterford Road, double yellow lines could be introduced in three new areas to provide suitable and safe passing places.
On Gunville Road, near the Forest Road junction, two sections of double yellows are proposed to prevent parking and improve road safety.
To stop people from parking outside the Victoria Recreation Ground gates, double yellow lines are proposed on Recreation Ground Road.
No waiting restrictions between Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, could be introduced on a stretch of Carisbrooke Road to allow the free flow of traffic during peak hours.
Outside the Island VI Form at Nodehill, on St John’s Place, the no waiting restrictions could be removed to add a limited waiting of 30 minutes area with hopes of increasing parking places close to the town centre.
On Wellington Road, bus stop restrictions could be added, limited waiting zones defined and no loading areas implemented to improve safety and traffic flow during school pick-up and drop-off times.
Other changes could also be made to restrictions on:
- Alvington Manor View
- Carisbrooke High Street
- Hinton Road
- Watergate Road
- Fairlee Road
- Linden Road
- Fairmont Drive
- Staplers Road
- Sylvan Drive
- Mayfield Drive
- Halberry Lane
- Queens Road
- Hunnyhill
- Crocker Street
