The general effect of the Order will be to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions (double yellow lines) along the following lengths of Taunton Deane in Emerson Valley:

1) Taunton Deane, west side - from a point opposite the southern kerbline of Quantock Crescent, for a distance of 48 metres in a southerly direction

2) Taunton Deane, east side - from its junction with the southern kerbline of Quantock Crescent, for a distance of 32.5 metres in a southerly direction

The proposed restrictions come as a result of concerns raised over vehicles parking on the above lengths of road which are obstructing the informal pedestrian crossing outside Hungerford House Sheltered Housing.

The proposed double yellow lines will prevent vehicles from parking along the above lengths of road, which will help to alleviate obstruction and improve sightlines for vehicles negotiating Taunton Deane, so as to prevent collisions. This will help to encourage a safer environment for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists throughout the road.
