The proposed restrictions seek to mitigate the impact of potentially obstructive on-street parking on Lountside at and on its roundabout junction with the A511.
It was also necessary to extend the existing waiting restrictions on both parts of Coalfield Way to prevent obstructive parking from HGVs. Introducing further double yellow lines would prevent HGVs parking on the footway / carriageway near its junction with the A511 and alleviate congestion which prevents the safe movement of traffic flows during peak times.
The proposed restrictions would seek to benefit the safety for all road users in this location. This scheme was introduced on the grounds of road safety.
To introduce No Waiting At Any Time Restrictions on Lountside at its junction with the A511 from roundabout at the junction of A42, A511 and A512 Ashby Road to Nottingham Road and Coalfield Way, Ashby de la Zouch.
