2. In order to mitigate for the loss of parking provision as a result of the measures being introduced above the general effect of the orders would be to:

4. In order to reduce the level of cut through traffic using side roads to avoid main roads and junction congestion, to help improve road safety, the general effect of the Prescribed Route Order would be to:

   a) Introduce a point of no entry on Lodge Lane N12, at its junction with Gainsborough Road, which would prohibit motorists from entering Lodge Lane from Gainsborough Road.

The prohibition referred to in section 1 above will not apply in relation to anything:

(i) with the permission or at the direction of a police constable in uniform.

(ii) in accordance with traffic signs placed pursuant to Section 66 or Section 67 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984;

5. In order to effectively manage traffic flow and improve road safety, the general effect of the Prescribed Route Order would also be to introduce a one-way traffic system as follows:

a) On Lodge Lane N12, so motorists travelling on Lodge Lane will only be permitted to travel in a westerly direction, between its junction with Albert Street and Gainsborough Road.
