No Parking White Lines?

leew

Hi all.

Does anyone know what this white line indicates? I have tried to find out but no joy.

I have been told not to park there (Red dots is where I parked)

Anybody know? there is a School a bit further down but they have the normal yellow zig zag's plus signs saying no parking etc.

Regardless of the lines, you shouldn't park that close to a junction in any case, per Highway Code rule 243.

Parking on single white lines

If the road has a continuous single white line running along the left side, parking is considered legal but in some cases may be used to discourage parking – though this is subject to localised laws such as no parking enforcement signs or other such prohibited parking markings. Other such issues could also raise potential legal issues such as parking in front or a dropped kerb (see dropped kerb parking laws), private driveway, too close to a junction for example, but generally these are separate issues in their own right.
However, in certain cases the single white line represents that there is no pavement – if this is the case then it would be illegal to park on a single white line. Such locations can often be areas where no street lighting is available and the continuous white line is used to define the edge of the carriageway. For further information regarding parking on pavements, see:

Looks like it is on a speed bump in which case it has no meaning and simply done to visually narrow the road in the hope that people slow more - ie just a traffic calming measure.

As others have said, the issue of parking there would be the proximity of the junction not the white line

Cocnur with the last post.
It appears to be to draw attention to the trafic calming measure and nothing more.

Irrespective of what it means it's an inconsiderate place for anyone to park a car.

It would totally obscure the junction for cars coming out and also travelling along the road "parked upon".

Thanks, I know not to really park there however I just wondered If it was legal to do so ie could I get a ticket.

Thanks again, I'll park elsewhere next time.

It's an edge-of-carriageway line. No more, no less.
