Here is a story about the problem parking in Queens Road
Hello,
Could you please clarify the following parking regulation.
In the attached picture of a vehicle parked in the Northbound side of Queens
Road facing South, the vehicle is parked on double yellow lines in front of
a previously installed "No Loading" sign that has been ripped off. In fact
only 1 of the original 3 remain.
One ouf your patrols (BH574) informed me that the any vehicle parked along
that stretch is not violating any rules in regards to loading or waiting as
there is no chevrons on the kerb.
How does this relate to the fact that the stretch of road is clearly marked
at the entrance as a bus lane and as can be seen by the large blue sign
clearly indicates it as a non restricted bus, taxi, cycle, lane. Therefore
the vehicle is illegally parked in a bus lane.
This according to BH574 means nothing as all bus lanes are only legal if
there is a camera covering it. He then refused to ticket the vehicle or any
of those parked there.
Please clarify this and if any of the information is incorrect, please
provide me with the current legislation and RTA/RTO dealing with this
stretch of road.
I can provide countless pictures of illegally parked vehicles, delivery
vehicles and other vehicles parked in contravention of the "no stopping
exvept buses", "No loading at any time" etc
On a side note, that communal bin does not help traffic flow.
Thank You
Liam Mandville

Hello,
As part of the Brunswick & Regency (LAT) campaign for safer streets, we
would like to bring to your attention the following pictures taken from
one of our members.
They show the same vehicle, a "Superdrug Savers" (YA 54 UAL) lorry
parked so close to a traffic island in Western road that buses and other
vehicles could not pass on the correct side of the road. Other vehicles
had to go the wrong side of the central traffic aisle, on the wrong side
of the road, to get past the lorry causing a highly dangerous situation.
The pictures can be seen on our parking gallery at
http://tinyurl.com/md58q3 as you can see clearly show a bus and council vehicle
having to cross to the wrong side of the road to get past.

Major works are to be carried out at this junction in the Summer/Autumn which will include Road Safety and streetscape improvements for all users.
Improvements for cyclists include widening of the carriageway at the pinch-point through the Clock Tower, making the left turn from North Street into Queen’s Road easier for cyclists, removing the ban on right turns for cyclists from Queen’s Road into North Street and new Advanced Stop Lines.
The faded Stop line in Western Road has been noted and I have asked the Project Engineer to address this in the interim.
Both these lorries are unloading, Would you know what the traffic lights are showing?

We have already been informed that the new Tesco store in Queens Road is causing problems.
The large lorries are parking on the bus stop on an already busy road, which is exactly what we complained about before they opened the store. If you experince this or any other parking problems, please let us know.
