Cambridgeshire County Council will discuss a proposal to paint double yellow lines in Lynn Road, traffic regulation order (TRO) was made by Orchards Green developer, Hopkins Homes, so it could create a pavement and City of Ely Council objected to the plans and said it would "not be suitable for this stretch of road" due to the loss of on-street parking for residents. However, the county council pointed out the developer had to deliver an off-site cycleway scheme on Lynn Road, from the junction with Egremont Street to King Edgar Close, to adhere to planning permission double yellow lines would enable this by preventing parking, allowing the pavement to be widened.

Man Utd star Luke Shaw gets parking ticket on his birthday as he leaves £250,000 Rolls Royce on double yellow lines
MANCHESTER UNITED star Luke Shaw got a parking ticket on his birthday after leaving his £250,000 Rolls Royce on double yellow lines. The left-back has been celebrating his 30th birthday today and decided to go for a spin in his luxury motor to Hale Village in Cheshire. 2 2 But disaster struck when Shaw ignored the rules of the road. The defender, who joined United in 2014, decided to park his car on double yellows. Shaw then left the vehicle as he headed into the shops. And when he came, it was already too late. The 34-time England international returned to find a yellow package on his windscreen. It was none other than a dreaded parking fine. And Shaw will now have to cough up £60 to escape the long arms of the law. However, the injury-plagued star currently pockets £150,000-a-week at United. And he won't have any issues paying off his debt to society. Shaw has made 287 appearances during his 11 years at Old Trafford. Which Manchester United stars should stay and go? But he's played just 27 times in the past two seasons after being hit by numerous injuries. Despite Shaw's setbacks, he is not thought to be in danger of leaving Ruben Amorim's side this summer. The ace is halfway through a four-year contract penned in 2023.

Northern politician to table bill to prevent motorists from passing on double yellow highway lines
Mushkegowuk-James Bay MPP Guy Bourgouin plans to table a bill that make it illegal for motorists to pass on double yellow lines. Northern politician to table bill to prevent motorists from passing on double yellow highway lines A northern Ontario MPP plans to table a new bill that would make it illegal for motorists to pass each other on double solid yellow highway lines. Mushkegowuk-James Bay MPP Guy Bourgouin of the NDP is bringing attention to a highway safety concern. He told CTV News he once had no idea it was legal to pass on double yellow highway lines. 'In Ontario, the province of Ontario, the solid lines in the middle are a suggestion and yes when a situation happens officers can charge you but not with that; they charge you with careless driving,' said Bourgouin. He said after seeing videos online of people passing dangerously on double lines and meeting with truck drivers and police officers, he has decided to table a bill at Queen's Park. He's calling it 'Chad's Law' after one of his constituents who was seriously hurt in a collision on Highway 11, near Kapuskasing. 'On this bill, I'm saying they could be charged $400 and lose up to a minimum of four (demerit) points,' Bourgouin said. 'It'll give more power to OPP.' The MPP said a similar exists in other provinces such as Quebec. Chad Belanger doesn't remember much of the head-on collision he survived in January 2022, but he thinks the bill is a good idea. 'Well to be honest I'm happy about it,' said Belanger. 'Anything that could possibly save a life – it's a good thing to me,' he said. Bourgouin plans to table 'Chad's Law' on Nov. 21.
