Reply to: Pavement parking Ban

I thought yellow lines were to enforce no parking?

there always has to be one.

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.

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

Where am I going to park my classic MiG....?

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 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.

MF hasn't been down your way?

How the developers get away with this is mind boggling.

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.
Parking Fines and Lines > Contravention Zone > Code 62

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

I turned my garage into a dungeon.

I dread to think!

But if people have a driveway they should park on that instead of the road.

Apart from space to the motorbike my garage is usual dumping ground for bikes, boxes and the usual stuff accumulated over the years!

The one that really winds me up the most is where people have a driveway or garage and instead park on the road.
