Overview

South Tyneside Council have been alerted, by residents, to problems emerging from Hillcrest, Jarrow at its junction with Hedworth Lane.

When vehicles are parked within 10m of a narrow junction, such as this, it reduces forward visibility for both motorists and pedestrians which is a road safety concern.

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