Double red lines will be installed on a section of the A38 near Bristol Airport to stop motorists using the side of the road to drop off and pick up passengers. The lines will replace existing double yellows, which are being ignored by some motorists and causing serious issues in the area.
According to the Bristol Airport policing team a motorcyclist sustained significant injuries recently after being knocked off his bike as a direct result of illegal parking on that stretch of road. Work to install the lines is due to take place between Monday, July 3 and Friday, July 7.
There will be temporary traffic lights and lane closures in place between 8pm and 6am. Once in place they will be enforced by the Bristol Airport policing team and anyone parked on them will be issued with a fine.
