Council requests road safety measures for two Ripon schools
Safety concerns relating to parking and vehicle movements close to two Ripon primary schools have prompted the city council to seek remedies.
Highways authority, North Yorkshire County Council, is being approached with a request to put double yellow lines on Highfield Road, close to the junction with Lead Lane.
A request is also being made for a 7.5 tonnes weight limit to be put in place on Quarry Moor Lane.
Greystone Outwood Academy Primary School is on the busy Quarry Moor Lane.
At last week’s full meeting of the city council, leader Andrew Williams, said:
Following a request from a resident living in Quarry Moor Lane, the council agreed that a weight limit on the road, which runs past Outwood Primary Academy Greystone, would reduce the risk for pupils attending the school.
Currently, heavy goods vehicles are able to use Quarry Moor en-route to and from the Dallamires Lane Industrial Estate.
