SOUTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL
NOTICE OF PROPOSED PARALLEL CROSSING, MONKTON LANE, JARROW 2025
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 parallel crossing in the place described in schedule 1 below.
SCHEDULE 1
New Parallel Crossing
Monkton Lane, Jarrow
The centre of the crossing is to be located 12m west of the junction with Dene Terrace.
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 4.35m eastwards and 12.98m westwards.
The raised crossing plateaux will consist of a raised surface above the existing carriageway for the full width of the road located 6.5m west of its junction with Dene Terrace for a distance of up to 8m in a western direction with ramps measuring 2m in length.
The raised crossing is necessary to ensure safety of pedestrians at this point and to reduce traffic speeds.
Details of these proposals may be inspected from Monday to Friday during normal office hours at the Council’s Legal Services Section at the address below.
If you wish to raise an objection, express support or make any other observations about these proposals, you must make them in writing at the address below (addressed for the attention of Road Safety team / ref RH/TRS16-ML/2025) by 12th January 2026. Any objections must specify the grounds on which they are made.
