Traffic Conditions
There are parking restriction changes in Pentland Parade, near the school with the opening of the new Birmingham park and new infrastructure in place.
The kerb outstand and the speed hump have reduced the width of the road to allow for a parked car and through traffic. To address safety along this section and provide safe crossing for bikes across the speed hump to connect the bike lane on Pentland parade and onto the new bike path within the Birmingham park, council will install ‘No Stopping’ signs as shown in red below.
Please read the attached two articles from the Maribyrnong Council about Parking Responsibilities and the Active Paths Program.
