Hi all

I shall remove this thread when I have the information required, as it's not really a rant or news of any sort, but I thought I'd post here as someone will know the answer!

Does anyone remember what year Northbrook Street was pedestrianised, albeit during business hours?

Ta muchly in advance!

It has never been pedestrianised.

It is a limited access road and all the rules of the road still apply

Can you refer us to where this is documented please?
You know what the op meant and, as far as most are concerned, it is "pedestrianised" between the hours of 10:00 and 17:00. (Apart from certain vehicles such as emergency services and, I believe, postal vehicles and, of course, bloody cyclists! angry.gif )

Refer to the Traffic Management Order and the signage. The area is closed to motor vehicles (with exceptions) between certain hours.

Cyclists are allowed, horse riders are allowed - in fact any road user other than a motor vehicle - at all times.

Yes,of course I know what the OP referred to, but there is a need in life to be factually correct. For example, if (and I don't know why the OP asked the question) the OP was forming the basis of a challenge to the authorities over the 'pedestrianisation' of Northbrook St, then it would fall at the first hurdle as the response would be "It has never been pedestrianised".

There is a world of difference between pedantry and simply supplying inaccurate information

Fair enough.
Where do I find the "Traffic Management Order"?
And
What does define a "Pedestrianised" road?
