Installation of ‘No Stopping’ and ‘Bus Zone’ signage in Baker Street, Carlingford

Council has recently approved the following changes to parking restrictions in Baker Street, Carlingford.

1. That a 54m long ‘No Stopping’ restriction be installed on the east side of Baker Street, Carlingford immediately south of Lynch Close. Refer to sketch link below.
2. That a ‘No Stopping’ restriction, with a 20m long ‘Bus Zone’ restriction at the existing bus stop, be installed on the west side of Baker Street, Carlingford between No. 36 and Lynch Close. Refer to sketch link below.
3. That a ‘No Stopping restriction be installed on the east side of Baker Street, Carlingford between Felton Road and Pleasant Circuit. Refer to sketch link below.
4. That a 35m long ‘No Stopping’ restriction and a 20m long ‘Bus Zone’ restriction be installed on the east side of Baker Street, Carlingford immediately south of Pleasant Circuit. Refer to sketch link below.

The purpose of the signs is to reinforce the existing road rules.  The street is only 9.5m wide with centre lines marked at an offset to allow for parking on one side of the road only whilst maintaining two continuous travel lanes.  Motorists have been parking within the narrow travel lane and within 3m of the continuous centre lines contrary to the Road Rules.  

It is anticipated that the signs will be installed early February 2024.
