Simple question.....
Hopefully simple answer....
Is it illegal to park fully on this pavement (i.e. outside the single yellow lines) within the times shown on the little yellow sign? More to the point, should I challenge a parking ticket given for doing so. Place I regret parking. |

Public road? If yes, then yes it's illegal - unless specifically permitted with signage to that effect, parking on the pavement is a no-no.

Simple question.....
And yet the ticket isn't for parking on a pavement? It's for the yellow line offence as if I was on the road.... Tsk.
I'm thinking I might as well just take them up on their offer of a half price roggering! |

Re: Simple question.....
IMO, that's arguable, not for the offence, but for the ticket, one could argue the wording there, what about a free call to a motoring lawyer?
I challenged a parking ticket for parking in front of a disused building by BCFC, this was 4 years ago and I still haven't heard anything back. |

Re: Simple question.....
not legal. Parking on the pavement can be legal but the yellow lines extend to the centre of the road and across the pavement so you cannot park either side of them either fully on the pavement or in the middle of the road.

Re: Simple question.....
What spank says. If you can manage to park completely on the grass past the pavement then you are fine!

Re: Simple question.....
Although I should have said footway not pavement. Pavement is a bit imprecise.

Re: Simple question.....
So pay the half price fine then....
Just for future reference (because I'm likely to find myself without a parking spot in this location again.....) If I park where the red box is (within the times on the yellow sign) i may get a ticket.... If I park where the blue box is (at any time, provided not one bit of my car is touching or overhanging one bit of kerb / tarmac) then I'm good?
