Implementation of this order will promote safer traffic flow and will provide adequate visibility and room for larger vehicles by preventing inconsiderate and obstructive parking that blocks sight lines.   Parking Services will be asked to patrol Lottie Street in response to concerns raised at the Lead Member Briefing that the parking restrictions located in that area are not being adhered to or enforced.   Options considered and rejected were: Officers investigated the possibility of introducing time limited waiting restrictions but this was not taken forward as the visibility splays for the pedestrians and vehicles need to be maintained at all times.   Assessment of Risk: The scheme has been designed in accordance with the Traffic Signs Manual and Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions 2016. The scheme will contribute to improving the safety of all highway users.    The source of funding is: The scheme is funded by Swinton & Pendlebury Highways Devolved Budget 2024-2025   Legal Advice obtained: The Council, by virtue of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 can introduce orders to manage traffic. Where Traffic Regulation Orders are required, they should not give rise to any particular legal implications, provided the works and procedures are carried out in accordance with the relevant statutory requirements, which would include the consideration of any objections to a proposed Traffic Regulation Order.   Financial Advice obtained: There are no direct financial implications contained within this report.   Procurement Advice obtained: There are no procurement implications contained within this report.   The following documents have been used to assist the decision process: Proposal Plan and Lead Member Report.   Contact Officer: Ali Saeed    Tel No. 07591352117 Email: ali.saeed@salford.gov.uk   This decision is not subject to consideration by another Lead Member.   The appropriate scrutiny panel to call-in the decision is the Growth & Prosperity Scrutiny Panel.     Signed: Councillor McCusker                                                             Dated: 11th December 2024 Lead Member for Planning, Transport & Sustainable Development                 This decision was published on 17th December 2024.   This decision will come into force on 24th December 2024, unless it is called-in in accordance with the decision-making process rules.
