B2003 On a single? Yup. Though I wasn't even parked on the road itself , I'd parked on a raised section of tarmac next to the road which then in turn adjoins a normal pavement. I thought it would be fine there since I wasn't causing an obstruction to traffic or pedestrians. Obviously not. Oh well, you live and learn... B2003 |

B2003 If you knowingly break the Law and create obstructions and danger for others why should you expect to get off lightly? They haven't put the yellow paint down just because they happened to have a couple of buckets left. I'm not complaining about getting done. I parked illegally , I literally paid the price, lesson learnt, won't be parking there again. It was just a warning to others that ealing arn't messing around any more. B2003 |

Parking restrictions definitely apply to the adjacent pavement as well as the carriageway. In London no parking is allowed anywhere on the pavement whether or not restrictions apply to the carriageway, unless signs specfically permit it. -- Richard J.

on Thu, 19 Mar 2009, remarked: In London no parking is allowed anywhere on the pavement whether or not restrictions apply to the carriageway, unless signs specfically permit it. In Cambridge too. In both cases the statement is a general one and there are exceptions. Like this, perhaps: http://tinyurl.com/czyoq9 But maybe you are about to tell me the thing the taxi's parked on isn't even "pavement" (like the similar bit outside Sainsburys)?? http://tinyurl.com/che7pf -- Roland Perry |

It's curious that the number plate hasn't been obscured! -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
