It's no different than the Highway Code for the rest of Great Britain. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAn...t/Highwaycode/ Although there are bylaws, as with most places in the UK. Some examples are London's Red Routes, no parking in bus stops and the Low Emission Zone. I believe London also bans pavement parking, which is not nationally illegal. |

In the last few years I've noticed an increase in the number of vehicles parked completely on the pavement. Often they are next to double yellows or cars already parked on the road or pavement-side of railings. Or they narrow the pavement so much that you may as well walk on the road. Or all of the above. Is it one of those things that is technically illegal but never enforced ? Jon |

Jon Don't know if this is up to date, but it is a good summary: http://ww2.swindon.gov.uk/moderngov/...SAPPENDIXB.pdf "There is no national prohibition on pavement parking except in relation to heavy commercial vehicles." "Most pavement parking will be seen as causing an obstruction and will be dealt with by the police or traffic wardens. However, in some areas local authorities have designated "Special Parking Areas" (SPAs) under the Road Traffic Act 1991. In these areas the local authorities will be responsible for parking and cars parked on the pavement could be ticketed as contravening the parking regulations (e.g. parking on a yellow line for example) rather than for causing an obstruction. Some local authorities, for example Worcester, Exeter and Hereford took their own Private Act powers to ban pavement parking within their areas. London also took such powers under section 15 of the Greater London Council (General Powers Act) 1974, although the situation there is now covered by the Road Traffic Act 1991." Seems like it isn't a criminal offence unless you actually cause a danger or obstruction, but it may be a civil offence depending on what the local council feels like doing. |

In London Highway Code Rule 244 makes it clear. I have no idea about the south, but in Scotland it is an offence to drive on a footway,footpath or cycle track (with some exceptions). http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukpga/1984/cukpga_19840054_en_16#pt11-l1g146 129 (5). The police seldom, if ever, enforce this law. A parked motor vehicle has either been driven or propelled (pushed in more common language) there. It was not magically levitated into position. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

In ,
David Hansen tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us: In London Highway Code Rule 244 makes it clear. "You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London" This has always puzzled me, as a little further up the road in which Larrington Towers is situated, there are notices /requiring/ parked vehicles to be wholly on the pavement. Along the road that runs down the side of Larrington Towers there are notices /requiring/ parked vehicles to be partially on the pavement. And outside Larrington Towers, parking wholly or partially on the pavement will get you a ticket. Larrington Towers has been located in the London Borough of Waltham Forest since 1965, prior to which it was in faaarkin' Essex. -- Dave Larrington http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk The onward interchange factor will be unity except for journeys to Chesham, Croxley or Watford. |

Perhaps you should take it up with whoever is responsible for the signs, quoting the law mentioned in the Highway Code. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |
