'No Waiting at Any Time’ Parking Restriction – B1334 Newbiggin Road
Northumberland County Council has recently implemented new traffic calming measures following a serious collision at the A196 North Seaton Road junction with the B1334 Newbiggin Road, which has led to a change in the road layout. The Stage 3 Road Safety Audit identified that there is inadequate visibility of pedestrians and oncoming motorists due to parked vehicles where a new build-out has been installed.
It was recommended that appropriate measures are undertaken to improve visibility at this crossing point by discouraging parking too close to the build-out.
The solution agreed is to introduce a short length of ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions in the form of double yellow lines on the B1334 Newbiggin Road covering the build-out on the northern side of the road which would prohibit vehicles from parking there and in turn improve visibility for pedestrians and motorists.
