Traffic restrictions set to affect major roads in Bromley
Traffic restrictions are set to affect multiple roads in Bromley due to maintenance work this month.
The London Borough of Bromley Council has issued a notice under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
The order will come into effect on Wednesday, August 13, with no specified finish date.
It will have a maximum duration of 18 months, with works beginning on or after the commencement date.
The affected streets are listed as follows: Brackley Road, Beckenham; Bromley Lane, Chislehurst; Bromley Road, Chislehurst; Bull Lane, Chislehurst; Centre Common Road, Chislehurst; Church Row, Chislehurst; Croydon Road, Beckenham; Elmers End Road, Beckenham; Manor Park Road, Chislehurst; Pound Way, Chislehurst; Royal Parade, Chislehurst; Shepherds Green, Chislehurst; The Drive, Orpington; and Watts Lane, Chislehurst.
The notice states that vehicles will be prohibited from waiting in the streets listed in the schedule until the works are completed.
Any vehicle that contravenes this restriction may be removed under the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986.
The notice also prohibits vehicles from proceeding in the affected streets, unless otherwise indicated by traffic signs.
Temporary one-way working will be in place, again as indicated by traffic signs.
Displaced traffic will be diverted via local streets, and the prohibitions will not apply to cul-de-sacs.
Access to properties will be maintained as far as practicable from either side of the closure.
Emergency access and egress routes will be maintained at all times.
The order will not apply to vehicles being used in connection with the works, or to anything done with the permission or direction of a police officer in uniform or a civil enforcement officer.
The council's notice said: "Access to properties will be maintained as far as is practicable from either side of the closure as appropriate
"Emergency access and egress routes will be maintained at all times."
The notice came from Daniel Jones, director of environment and public protection at Bromley Civic Centre.
