ROAD TRAFFIC (ST CLEMENT) (JERSEY) ORDER 1987
Purpose of the Report
To amend the Road Traffic (St Clement) (Jersey) Order 1987.
Background
Amendment to Schedule 1 “One-Way Traffic Routes” summarised below
Following a trial period the Parish wishes to formalise a one way system which manages traffic flow and residents’ parking more effectively.
Amendment to Schedule 2 “Prohibition of Waiting” summarised below
The Connétable has requested that in the interest of road safety waiting is prohibited on a section of La Grande Route de la Cote.
Amendments to Schedule 3 “Parking Discs – 2hr zone”
The Connétable of St Clement has requested an amendment to the restrictions for the Parking Disc Zone on La Greve d’Azette.
Amendment to Schedule 4 “Roads closed to through traffic”.
In December 2011 a temporary amendment to the Road Traffic (St Clement) (Jersey) Order 1987 was made using powers granted under Article 68 of the Road Traffic Law. The Amendment is temporary and after 12 months must be formalised into the Parish Road Traffic Order if it is to become permanent. Parish officials are now satisfied that the temporary amendment is appropriate and therefore wish the change to be included in the Parish Road Traffic Order.
Discussion
Amendment to Schedule 1 “One Way Roads” summarised below
Georgetown Park Estate is to be made one way in an anticlockwise direction. The reference to Georgetown Park Estate is to be removed from Schedule 4 “Roads closed to through Traffic”
Amendment to Schedule 2 “Prohibition of Waiting” summarised below
Extend ‘Prohibition of Waiting’ on La Grande Route de la Cote in a westerly direction from where the current restriction ends outside Sydney Crill Park for 50 yards both sides. This has been requested after reports of motorists parking their cars close to this entrance making it difficult, and in some cases dangerous, for residents leaving the estate.
Amendments to Schedule 3 “Parking Discs – 2hr zone” summarised below
Victor Hugo Apartments on Greve d’Azette, to prevent the current restriction being abused by motorists.
Insert a new section sub-paragraph to Part 4 of the schedule: when a vehicle is left as aforesaid no person shall – (d) permit the vehicle to park in any part of that road within one hour of its departure.
Amendment to Schedule 4 “Roads Closed to Through Traffic” summarised below
Le Squez Road (between its junction with the entrance to Les Burons and its junction with School Road)
This road will be closed to all traffic except for pedal cycles, emergency vehicles and buses travelling in a southbound direction.
The current entry for Georgetown Park Estate deleted from this schedule as it is no longer relevant.
