S c c to introduce red line routes

[bassett one 449]

wont work another labour council idea that cannot be enforced,at greenhill school they just park on the footpath and the bus waiting area,so no chance,may get odd few ,but this is another rule that spells failure,as in speeding in 20 mph zones,see them doing 60 plus every day on lowedges road,another labour disaster .

How are the council to blame for people exceeding the speed limit?

If people are willing to walk more than 100 yards I can't see the problem, there is plenty of space there, problem is everyone is just too selfish and lazy.

[Cyclone 10]

but how much will all these enforcement camera's cost to install, maintain and staff???

 

and as a tax payer are you happy with that amount of money being spent enforcing parking - could it be better spent elsewhere???

 

They'll probably have paid for themselves within six months won't they?

I doubt it.

 

The automatic cameras used on bus lanes might cost circa £20k each to install. Then there's maintenance which isn' t cheap. If you have to employ people, you're looking at another £20k per annum each, maybe more

 

The penalty is £35 for early payment, you're going to need a lot of them to pay for that in 6 months.

Two bus lanes in the city generated more than £200,000 each last year, nine made at least £100,000 and all 16 between them earned Sheffield Council close to £1.5m

The numbers of penalties actually issued at the moment on school keep clear markings is quite low. I therefore would not expect a small scheme of red lines like the one proposed at Baskow Rd would generate anything like the numbers of contraventions that happen in bus lanes / gates on main routes.

How many of these vans do they have? Surely if they have a blitz on several of the schools at the same time for a week or so people might get the message. Or why not put some vans there that look like the real thing, after all cameras etc are not about making money so they tell us but to educate people into driving sensibly. If people see a high profile vehicle they are unlikely to park where they shouldn't unless they are idiots.

We had a great one that toured Wirral and caught loads of people:

Sadly it was labelled a "spy car" and banned a year later, allegedly "marking a victory for motorists and shoppers".

Is that possibly due to some operational policy?

Having seen several 'operations' at schools over the years, I only ever saw warnings handed out. No tickets.

Which contributed to the continued disregard of the regulations.

Sounds like it just coincided with the change that most parking offences had to be dealt with by a warden and not just through CCTV.

The builders who are building the school directly opposite my place, (been building it since Sept/Oct 2017) ALL parked on the pavements around here, preventing prams and wheelchairs from passing...

 

they even had the cheek to put cones out over-night, to stop residents parking out-side their own properties!

 

What makes it worse, is they have a car park specifically for the site staff, yet they STILL park allover the pavement.
