Topic : Traffic calming |
|

after loseing 2 cars in the last 4 months and the speed at which traffic comes over the canal bridge in daylight never mind after dark maybe it is time for traffic calming measures on keighley road ive noticed in bingley east morton and elwwick/gilstead there are bollards and pavement widenings perhaps from the chip shop on the bridge to the snicket there could be a gradual narrowing of the road and bollards to stop parking (in this area since the road improvements there have been many parking fines for cars that have parked illegally anyway) |

Having cars parking on the roads is a cheap form of traffic calming. If council measures were in place the council would have to pay, if a few cars are hit then it is the individual obstructing the highway by parking their car on it and the insurance company. By all means introduce speed reduction methods, and at the same time get rid of parking on the roads to ensure the traffic flows. Flowing slower, but moving is better than stop start. |

our cars were not obstructing the highway thankyou very much 1 was hit by a driver that fell asleep at the wheel the other was at the weekend and was the massive accident caused by some twocing barstool from keighley (aledgedly) on neither occasion was it anything to do with were the cars were parked but was to do with muppet drivers i agree in the main street traffic sometimes comes to a standstill when 2 trucks are passing the parked cars but the main issue is that very few cars adhere to the speed limit maybe a speed cameras on the section from the bridge to the bypass might be better |

ANY vehicle stopped for no good reason on the highway is causing an obstruction. Parking for convenience is not classified as a good reason. Parking is allowed by default, but technically a car parked on the highway is an obstruction. It is elementary road traffic law. |

strange then how the pcso said it was legal to park below the snicket but illegal to park above it up to the bridge |

It is definitely illegal to park where there are double lines in the centre of the road. Where there are no signs about parking then it is usually ignored, until there is a problem. The PCSO should know this as the basic law on obstruction is one of the things they are taught. |
