About the project
We’re responding to safety concerns for trucks turning at 156 Foundry Road, Silverdale.
Foundry Road is a busy road used by large truck and trailers serving local businesses. At the moment, parked vehicles outside 156 Foundry Road make it difficult for trucks to exit safely and turn onto Foundry Lane. To fix this, we’re introducing changes that will keep the driveway clear and reduce the risk of potential collisions between trucks and parked vehicles.
The changes we're making by February 2026
Removing the white hockey stick road markings
Installation of no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) outside 156 Foundry Road. To clear access and improve visibility we need to reallocate road space by removing one parking space.
Benefits to your community
Safer truck turns - Trucks can get in and out of driveways more safely without risk of hitting parked cars.
Fewer crashes - keeping the driveway clear reduces the chance of collisions between trucks, cars, cyclists, and people walking.
Better visibility - Drivers will be able to see oncoming vehicles and people crossing the road more easily.
Supports local business - Makes it easier and safer for large vehicles to access businesses along Foundry Road.
What happens next
Any change to the plan will be updated on our website.
It will take one day to paint the road marking in good weather conditions.
We know this may cause some inconvenience, and we will minimise this as much as possible while balancing safety concerns.
Please remember to park courteously and avoid blocking driveways. Vehicles parked illegally may receive infringement notices or be towed away.
