In a recent announcement, Devon County Council has issued multiple road traffic notices affecting the Exeter area. These temporary restrictions are part of ongoing infrastructure improvements and are expected to impact local travel.

The first notice pertains to Rifford Road, Exeter, where a temporary prohibition of through traffic will be enforced under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, Section 14. This order, effective from Monday March 17 2025, is anticipated to conclude by Friday March 28 2025. The restriction is necessary to facilitate carriageway resurfacing in connection with the construction of a two-way cycleway. During this period, an alternative signed route will guide vehicles via B3183, Butts Road, Bovemoors Lane, Dryden Road, Wonford Street, Burnthouse Lane and vice versa. For further details, Macplant Construction Ltd can be contacted at 01288 362111.

Additionally, a temporary suspension of waiting restrictions will be implemented on Victoria Park Road, Exeter. This order will commence on Monday April 7 2025 and is expected to finish by Friday April 11 2025. The suspension affects all waiting and loading restrictions on the specified roads to enable essential works involving a joint hole in the tarmac footway and an 8-metre road crossing for new supply installation. Notably, there is no alternative route available during this period. For more information, National Grid (Barnstaple) can be reached at 01271 347768.
