Parking on yellow lines

It is illegal to park a vehicle on double yellow lines at any time and single yellow lines during the time restriction shown on the sign, as long as they form part of the Public Highway. Where we find evidence of illegal parking we may issue a Penalty Charge Notice to any vehicles parked on yellow lines as long as there is no exemption. A Penalty charge notices can not be issued in the below circumstances.

The following exemptions apply and allow vehicles to be parked on yellow lines:

• The vehicle is wholly engaged in the loading or unloading of goods.
• The vehicle is wholly engaged in picking up or dropping off passengers
• The vehicle is displaying a valid Blue Badge

If the vehicle in question does not meet any of the above exemptions an officer will investigate.
