Sandpits Road, Ludlow - parking restrictions and road humps

Proposal

Title of scheme

Sandpits Road, Ludlow - parking restrictions and road humps

Description

The raised table will slow vehicles approaching Ludlow Primary School, and provide a safe crossing point. This will make the area safer for school children, and other pedestrians and drivers. The extension of the existing double yellow lines will reduce parking around the new uncontrolled raised crossing point, which will increase its visibility to all road users and pedestrians.
