Reasons: Changes to the highway network, the built environment and society mean that parking behaviour changes and consequently it is necessary for a Highway Authority to carry out regular reviews of waiting and parking restrictions on the highway network.
It is recommended that the waiting restrictions in this report are progressed as they
will help to:
· Improve road safety
· Increase access for emergency vehicles
· improve access to shops, facilities and businesses
· Increase access for refuse vehicles, buses and service vehicles
· Reduce traffic congestion
· Better regulate parking
