Grange Road, Jarrow - Proposed parking restrictions

Overview

South Tyneside Council have been made aware of problems with vehicles emerging onto Grange Road, Jarrow at various junctions within the area. When vehicles are parked within 10m of a narrow junction, it reduces forward visibility for both motorists and pedestrians which is a road safety concern. Furthermore, vehicles are parking either side of the road which is both restricting access and egress through the area, and poses a Road Safety risk by increasing the number of head on meetings. In addition to this, access problems can also be caused for emergency services, waste collection vehicles and presents a danger to other road users and pedestrians.

We propose to introduce the following parking restrictions, No Waiting and No Loading at Any Time (double yellow lines and double kerb blips) to improve forward visibility.

Please see below drawing showing the restrictions on Grange Road, Jarrow:
