"my understanding is that you can turn off the A316 at Burlington Lane or, if outside the two hours that the School Street scheme is in operation, at Staveley road, drive over Grove Park Bridge to visit the pharmacy and then drive back over the bridge in order to return home without fear of incurring any penalty. You would only receive a fine for driving past the camera on Hartington Rd which you would not be doing on the journey you have described if I have understood you correctly."Paul, you have indeed understood my question correctly. Thank you. I hope your comment is correct.However, I would further make the comment that, for whatever reason, there does not appear to be any clear explanation on the documentation provided by the council describing the changes they have made as to what is and what is not allowed in all circumstances. (Others have, I believe, also made similar comments).Of course, it may be that such clarification does exist but I couldn't find it. I wonder if the traffic department is going to publish any such clarification for all future restrictions. (Actually, I don't wonder as I am fairly certain that the traffic department won't do any such thing. If they do, I will, of course, apologise).On a different not, I turned into Hartington Road yesterday from the A316 (thought I would have one last fling whilst I could). I noticed some new(?) signs at the beginning of Hartington Road. I couldn't, however, read them as 1) they were hidden behind a tree, 2) they appeared to have a lot of information on them and 3) they were too close to the A316 and I was more interested in controlling my car and worrying about those vehicles behind me to consider stopping to read them before I proceeded.I can foresee some dangerous situations arising.....
