What
are "Keep Clear" road markings for ?
"Keep Clear" markings are used to indicate to drivers where
the highway should be kept clear of waiting or parked vehicles. The purpose
of this is to allow access to side roads or business and private entrances.
Traffic queuing from traffic
lights often blocks my entrance. Can anything be done to prevent this
?
"Keep Clear" markings are often used in this situation. An assessment
is required by an Highways Officer. Please complete the service
request form and send the details to us.
My neighbours are constantly
parking across my drive and blocking my access. Can anything be done to
help ?
If you cannot gain access to your property, either business or private,
because of inconsiderate parking then obstruction has been caused and can
be dealt with by the police. Alternatively, markings can be placed on the
highway to highlight the access. Whilst these marking are not legally enforceable
they can be very effective. A charge of £146 is made for this type of marking.
Assessment is required by an Highways officer before these markings can
be used. For further information please complete the service
request form and send the details to us.
Can I apply for a "Keep
Clear" marking ?
Yes, although the application will be assessed by a Highways officer to
see if a "Keep Clear" marking is appropriate. Where markings are provided
a charge of £146 is payable by the applicant. For further information please
complete the service
request form and send the details to us.
