Along
the edge of the
carriageway
Waiting
restrictions
Waiting restrictions
indicated by yellow
lines apply to the
carriageway, pavement
and verge. You may
stop to load or unload
(unless there are
also loading restrictions
as described below)
or while passengers
board or alight.
Double yellow lines
mean no waiting at
any time, unless
there are signs that
specifically indicate
seasonal restrictions.
The times at which
the restrictions
apply for other road
markings are shown
on nearby plates
or on entry signs
to controlled parking
zones. If no days
are shown on the
signs, the restrictions
are in force every
day including Sundays
and Bank Holidays.
White bay markings
and upright signs
(see below) indicate
where parking is
allowed.
Red Route
stopping controls
Red lines are used
on some roads instead
of yellow lines.
In London the double
and single red lines
used on Red Routes
indicate that stopping
to park, load/unload
or to board and alight
from a vehicle (except
for a licensed taxi
or if you hold a
Blue Badge) is prohibited.
The red lines apply
to the carriageway,
pavement and verge.
The times that the
red line prohibitions
apply are shown on
nearby signs, but
the double red line
ALWAYS means no stopping
at any time. On Red
Routes you may stop
to park, load/unload
in specially marked
boxes and adjacent
signs specify the
times and purposes
and duration allowed.
A box MARKED IN RED
indicates that it
may only be available
for the purpose specified
for part of the day
(eg between busy
peak periods). A
box MARKED IN WHITE
means that it is
available throughout
the day.
Red and single yellow
lines CAN ONLY GIVE
A GUIDE TO THE RESTRICTIONS
AND CONTROLS IN FORCE
AND SIGNS, NEARBY
OR AT A ZONE ENTRY,
MUST BE CONSULTED. |
