STC Proposed Corner Protection Locations

Welcome to Sevenoaks Town Council's Proposed Corner Protections Survey, which seeks public opinion on locations which the Town Council believes would benefit from additional corner protections by way of double yellow lines.

These would seek solely to reinforce the existing restrictions to parking which are in place via the Highway Code, which stipulates that cars may not park within 10 metres of junctions or bends, on the grounds that this obstructs visibility.

The selection process behind each location has been influenced either from direct requests from members of the public, or by Town Councillors.

Please review the plans and proposal justification before responding to this survey. Feedback received will inform whether the Town Council decides to pursue corner protections at each location formally via a legal Traffic Regulation Order. This would be followed by a further formal public consultation.
