Are police no waiting cones legal?

Or even the School complained...Or someone who does the school run complained about the other cars...

IIRC my local primary School has taken active steps in the past to deal with it's parents when they've been unusually stupid, including sending letters home reminding parents of the laws on parking, and highlighting the dangers (and then got the local council to send traffic wardens round).

School run parents round here seem to think that anywhere is a great parking space, as long as it's near the school, whilst the school and everyone else has the occasional battle to remind them of the law. and it sometimes involves getting a large hammer (the police or traffic wardens) to get the message home.
It's amazing how well a few fines tend to remind people of the law when it comes to parking at school run time.

There is always someone trying to circumvent the rules. This is the big problem with society at the moment, the attitude of "I'll do what I want".

The Police put down cones to keep the children safe, and instead of respecting the cones, you/your friend is querying "are they legal? are they allowed to do this? can i get out of paying?".

This shows a complete lack of respect for the law, and for the childrens safety.

I would normally agree but if the police put the cones there and have left them there for more than 7 days it is wrong (it seems). For all we know the Ops friend parked there on a saturday or this week while the school has been closed, Yes he was still in the wrong but then so were the police as the cones should have been removed and then replaced on monday.

On the other hand if Ops friend parked there during school start or finish times that was just plain ignorant and he should pay up

Of course there will probably be double yellows very soon so there will be no more arguments

Ask on the parking forum, they may be better placed to answer.

This is the solution, just like it was when I went to school and kids knew how to use their legs.
