THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL (LANTERN LANE, SHARPLEY DRIVE, EAST LEAKE) (PROHIBITION OF WAITING) (NO STOPPING ON ENTRANCE CLEARWAYS) TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER 2024 (TRO 8385) AND PROVISION OF HUMPED ZEBRA CROSSING ON LANTERN LANE, EAST LEAKE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Nottinghamshire County Council in exercise of its powers under Section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (zebra crossing) proposes to install a zebra crossing across Shelford Road. And Section 90A - 90I of the Highways Act 1980 (traffic calming hump), proposes to extend the existing raised traffic calming plateau (junction table), in respect of roads at East Leake in the Borough of Rushcliffe.

1. Proposed prohibition of Waiting At Any Time (double yellow lines) along the following lengths of road:-

a. Sharpley Drive, East Leake (both sides)
From its junction with Lantern Lane in a north-westerly direction for 10 metres.

2. Proposed prohibition of No Waiting on Monday - Friday between 8 am and 4:30 pm (single yellow lines) along the following lengths of road:-

a. Lantern Lane, East Leake (north side)
From a point 29 metres northeast of its junction with St Mary’s Crescent in a north-easterly direction for 56 metres.

b. Lantern Lane, East Leake (south side)
i. From a point opposite a point 52 metres southwest of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive in a north-easterly direction for 15 metres.

ii. From a point opposite a point 49 metres northeast of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive in a north-easterly direction for 35 metres.

3. Proposed No Stopping on Entrance Clearways on Monday - Friday 8 am and 4:30 pm (school keep clear markings) along the following lengths of road:-

a. Lantern Lane, East Leake (north side)
From a point 6 metres northeast of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive in a north-easterly direction for 58 metres.

b. Lantern Lane, East Leake (south side)
From a point opposite a point 5 metres northeast of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive in a north-easterly direction for 43 metres.

4. A zebra crossing across Lantern Lane approximately 16 metres southwest of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive. The crossing will incorporate a controlled area by extending the existing raised plateau, indicated by zig-zag markings along the carriageway where parking, stopping and loading will be prohibited. The extents of the controlled areas are:-

a. Lantern Lane, East Leake (north side)
From a point 37 metres southwest of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive in a north-easterly direction for 29 metres.

b. Lantern Lane, East Leake (south side)
From a point opposite a point 37 metres southwest of the north-eastern kerbline of Sharpley Drive in a north-easterly direction for 42 metres.

The crossing is being installed to assist pedestrians in crossing the road, especially school children. The new zig-zag lines on the road will replace the existing school keep clear marking, which currently prohibits stopping on Monday to Friday between 8 am and 4.30 pm. In addition the scheme includes extending the existing raised plateau 75 mm high 3 metres in a south-westerly direction.

The proposed parking restrictions will help to keep the road outside the school clear of vehicles during the school day making it safer for pupils attending the school, whilst also helping to to improve conditions for buses accessing/egressing the school site.
