SOUTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL
NOTICE OF PROPOSED RAISED ZEBRA CROSSING,
CENTENARY AVENUE ZEBRA CROSSING, SOUTH SHIELDS 2024

NOTICE is hereby given that South Tyneside Council, after consultation with the Chief Officer of Police and having notified the Secretary of State in writing, proposes under Section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and sections 90A and 90C of the Highways Act 1980 and the Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1999 to install a new raised zebra crossing in the place described in schedule 1 below.

SCHEDULE 1
New Raised Zebra Crossing
Centenary Avenue, South Shields
The centre of the crossing is to be located 14.5 metres south of the junction with Witton Avenue

Associated zig-zag markings on which vehicles would be prohibited from stopping at all times will be marked either side of the crossing extending up to 8.6 metres northwards and 8.6 metres southwards.

The raised crossing plateaux will consist of a raised surface above the existing carriageway for the full width of the road located 9 metres south of its junction with Centenary Avenue for a distance of 10.5 metres in a southward direction with ramps measuring 2 metres in length.

The raised crossing is necessary to ensure safety of pedestrians at this point and to reduce traffic speeds.
