   (b) Temple Mill Lane E20 – the raised table would be located at a point 19.4 metres south of the southern kerb-line of Abercrombie Road and would extend northward for a total distance of 32 metres including the ramps.

   The raised tables would be constructed and deployed in accordance with the Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1999. The raised tables would be 75 mm in height and the ramps on each side would have a gradient of 1 in 15.

2. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN under Section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 that the Council of the London Borough of Newham has approved:

   (a) The provision of a new pedestrian ‘toucan’ crossing in Olympic Park Avenue on the proposed raised table referred to in 1(a) above.
