Yellow Lines
Last updated | 19/05/2008
The Council do not normally support the introduction of yellow line waiting restrictions to deal with parking in residential areas. As the Council has limited staff resources for enforcement, the priority areas for enforcement are the town centres and as a result of this lines in residential areas generally receive a lower level of enforcement. This means that any lines in residential areas are more likely to be abused by drivers parking on them and this leads to a general lowering of respect for all yellow lines.
There are various different yellow line restrictions and they include:
| Restriction |
Description |
| Double yellow lines |
No parking at any times.
Loading may take place on these lines provided there is no loading ban but there must be continuous activity at the vehicle.
Blue badge holders may park but only if there is no loading ban and they are not causing an obstruction. |
| Single yellow lines |
No parking 8am to 6pm
