Can You Park on the Pavement Next to Double Yellow Lines

That’s quite a common question, or ‘parking on verge, or the other side next to double yellow lines‘. Parking on the pavement has its own potential issues, those aside, whether you want to park behind double yellow lines, the other side of them, whether there’s a pavement or a grass verge, the answer is no, it’s illegal.

Waiting restrictions apply from the centre of the carriageway to the back of the pavement (building line). Even if it’s a seemingly harmless grass verge, you’ll still get ticketed as it’s council property.

Vehicle Overhangs Double Yellow Lines

Motorists are often caught out by ensuring that the tyres are not touching the double yellow lines, but part of their vehicle overhangs the lines. Regulations allow for tickets to be issued if any part of a vehicle overhangs double yellow lines, even if the tyres are not touching them. Most parking officers are urged to use a degree of common sense on this and where tickets are issued due to a vehicle is overhanging the lines by a tiny margin, it may prove beneficial in disputing the violation. Always provide photographic evidence when disputing a case.

Penalty Charge Notice and double yellow lines

Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) are issued to motorists that do not conform to the rules for double yellow lines. With the exception of a commercial vehicle loading or unloading and a blue badge holder, a enforcement personnel will usually wait for around 3-5 minutes before issuing a PCN although if the vehicle is left unattended, a PCN will often be issued immediately.

A PCN is often issued immediately if a vehicle is stopped in a loading and unloading restricted area or within its restricted time zones. Restricted times zones are put in place on double yellow lines to prevent obstruction to the flow of traffic and potential or dangerous hazards.

Double yellow line signs

Where a restriction applies all year round, yellow ‘At any time’ signs are no longer used. Double yellow lines may have a sign accompanying them. In this instance, no waiting at any time during the summer months (1 May – 30 Sept) in the direction of the arrow. No waiting at any time throughout the year in the opposite direction (no yellow plate required). The changeover point is indicated in the carriageway by the transverse mark on the double yellow lines.

Restricted loading and unloading on double yellow lines

Loading is prohibited between times shown on the sign

Loading is prohibited 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for at least 4 consecutive months. The plate should include dates if the restriction does not apply throughout the year

Kerb markings follow a similar rule to single and double yellow lines. Single yellow lines restrict parking at certain times of day and double yellow lines restrict parking at any time. Yellow kerb markings are painted at right angles to the kerb and enforcement is represented by either a single yellow kerb marking or a double yellow kerb marking used in conjunction with the appropriate no loading sign.

Learner drivers on the driving test
