Permitted to park on pavement

13»

Comments

  • I measured Wilton road this morning, the pavement is 1.6m wide.

    The white bay lines on the pavement are 0.6m wide for cars so the council have left 1.0m for pedestrians, pushchairs etc.

    The pavement in Clifford road is 1.5m wide so I assume if cars are parked over 0.5m they will be issued with a code 62 ticket, as I have.

    Can code 62 be issused for a pedestrian obstruction, can anyone
    confirm?

    ...the sign only permits parking within the marked spaces. Therefore if there are no marked spaces then there should be no pavement parking.

    In my opinion, you are always running a risk when parking on the pavement in London unless there are signs allowing it and markings.

    Especially in Lambeth, where you can get a ticket for having 1" on the pavement..even if theres no "Kerb" as such.
