§ Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list any differences between the regulations applying to the existing clearways in the Greater London area and those being used in the current red route experiment.
§ Mr. ChopeUrban clearways are subject to a blanket prohibition on parking and loading at peak periods. Drivers can stop at any time to pick up and set down passengers. Clearway regulations are applied only to stretches of road where this uniform treatment is appropriate. The pilot red route traffic orders provide for differing treatment along the whole of the route to fit road conditions and local requirements. Where necessary, there is a total ban on stopping. Elsewhere, there is provision for parking, waiting and loading at certain times. Waiting and loading bays are marked in the road, with frequent signs indicating times of application.
