iE Traders Road Transport Associaion has refused to withdraw its !ctions to the experimental traffic ictions which Glasgow Corporation Ids to introduce in October or ■ ember (The Commercial Motor, ;ust 2). This was decided at a meetof the T.R.T.A. Scottish divisional !mittee on Wednesday when it was that the Association had no objecto a six-month experiment with a !me which was reasonable and fair ill road users. but considered that a od of six months to experiment with present scheme would be disastrous, only to operators of vehicles but to ers in the streets selected.
'ednesday's meeting of the T.R.T.A. mittce considered a letter received n the Glasgow town clerk referring he T.R.T.A.'s official objection to the !me (the Corporation of Glasgow ffic Regulation Experimental Order I) and stating that the Corporation, ng carefully considered the objecs. had agreed to introduce the mornloading ban at 8.15 instead of ,'clock as originally intended, but irwise was going to proceed with the !nne as published and ask the Secreof State to consent to the making he Order.
he Association felt that the very small :ession Offered would do little to allea the hardship which the proposal Id obviously produce if approved: it efore felt bound to adhere to its :ction.
he proposals. which were agreed at a 4ow city council meeting last week. apply to some 21 streets in the cenarea which arc to be restricted to way traffic and banned for loading inioading purposes from 8.15 to 9.30 and from 4.30 to 6 p.m. each week The T.R.T.A. objection had been. irief. that in the proposed one-way As the morning and evening bans
unnecessary because the one-way :ts themselves would achieve the eased traffic flow required: that in T streets restrictions at intersections other difficult bottlenecks should be I in this experimental scheme; and the proposals were unbalanced and ed in as much as they discriminated iirly against one essential service to advantage of another, namely public enger transport.
he scheme involved under the new er is thought to be the largest proid since the new powers to conduct experimental schemes were conferred upon local authorities by the Road Traffic Act 1962. The relevant section (28) of the Act specifies that where objections to loading or unloading bans are not withdrawn the local authority cannot make the appropriate order without the consent of the Minister concerned —in this case the Secretary of State for Scotland.
