Having considered the duty imposed under section 122 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, It appears to the local authority that it is necessary and expedient to make an Order in the interests of:

·         avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising

·         facilitating the passage on the road or any other road of any class of traffic (including pedestrians)
