Double red lines planned to tackle traffic around Castleton and Mam Tor
Derbyshire Council Council is set to implement its first red routes to tackle inconsiderate parking and manage traffic in the Castleton and Mam Tor areas.
The first double yellow lines are set to be painted on roads in Derbyshire - not in busy city centres, but around tourist hotspots in the Peak District.
Derbyshire Council Council is set to implement its first red routes to tackle inconsiderate parking and manage traffic in the Castleton and Mam Tor areas.
Double red lines will prevent vehicles from stopping or parking on the roads, verges, or pavements.
The lining and signing of these new parking arrangements in Castleton will begin on April 272026, with red routes installed after May 5.
The red routes will cover Old Mam Tor Road, Rushup Edge Road, Winnats Pass, and more.
All motorists, including licensed taxis and Blue Badge holders, must adhere to these new restrictions, with fines for non-compliance.
Additional changes include new street parking arrangements within Castleton, with double yellow lines on several streets and pay-by-phone parking bays.
Blue Badge bays will operate between 9am and 5pm, with a maximum stay of 3 hours.
Parking bays on Old Mam Tor Road will become pay-by-phone only, with new solar-powered pay and display machines installed in July.
Derbyshire Councillor Charlotte Hill said: “With these measures we have listened carefully and tried to balance the needs of local people, business and visitors to this beautiful part of our county.”
