Double yellow lines proposed for Isle of Wight towns and villages

New traffic regulation orders (TROs) are proposed to be introduced in Chale, Niton, Ventnor, Wroxall and Whitwell.

The orders — which could include the introduction of or changes to parking restrictions, loading bays and pay and display locations — may take up to two years for a final decision to be made but residents have until tomorrow to comment, the council is reminding people.

Other changes are proposed to help traffic flow, remove dangers to pedestrians and ensure junctions are visible.

In Ventnor, where the vast majority of changes are proposed, there could be changes to pay and display locations on the Esplanade, revoke the no loading ban on Victoria Street and introduce a designated loading bay on Albert Street as well as a one-hour waiting restriction in the summer between 10am and 6pm.

Double yellow lines could be introduced in new parts of the Esplanade and Esplanade Road; Park Avenue; Leeson Road; Shore Road; Steephill Road and St Catherine Street.
