Pavement parking Ban

[NickFitz]

That article is BS I got PCN 62 in the 90s which is for parking with wheels other than on the carriageway. It's just not been consistently enforced.

The story is vague waffly speculation leading up to something lifted from the Daily Mail, which in turn is a vague waffly quote from an unnamed official at the Department of Transport. It's vague waffles all the way down

would be better if they actually enforced parking on yellow etc lines.

How the developers get away with this is mind boggling.

I live on a main road in Devon, right on the outskirts of a town and the pavement is about 2-3m wide and I cant remember the last time someone needing all that width walked by.

The police however have left warning notes when visitors have parked half on half off, it leaves only 1.5m, even a wheelchair or a double buggy could get through.

No fines as yet.

I've never had a problem with my car.

MF hasn't been down your way?

Pavement parking should be the exception, not the rule (as it is in London). So fully support this, roads that are genuinely too narrow to support it can have marked bays painted on the pavement.

Like Germany:

I thought yellow lines were to enforce no parking?

Pretty sure its only illegal (or a civil offence, not sure) in London.

It's been enforced in London boroughs for some years, elsewhere it seems to be randomly enforced for example Trafford in Manchester list it.
