Can I Park here.

[Gornall]

Basically the yellow line runs all way down the road, a sign further up says no parking between 8am and 6pm (no where near the parking bays so I assume meaning on the yellow line only).

My question is, these parking bays are behind the yellow lines and off of the road and clearly marked up as parking bays but nobody seems to use them.

Can I park here or am I going to get a ticket?

No signs anywhere saying private parking or blah blah blah will be clamped etc etc.

ask the land owner. it looks to be private property

 

[Wizzfizz]

Best to ask in case you get clamped!

 

[Gornall]

Nothing says there is clamping in operation which I thought was a legal requirement?

As I say nothing says its private property, there are businesses around but they are walled off from here.

Without some sort of signage, there's not much they can do to stop you.

Keep an eye out for a ticket warden and ask him/her?

Yeh I had a quick scout for one but couldn't find one.

I'll check on lunch, will be a harsh way to learn if I'm wrong but as there are no signs I can't see what they can do.

There are no signs so suck it and see but don’t blame me if you get a ticket.

If there's no signage he can't get a ticket, or at least it wouldn't be enforceable.

 

[Gornall]

The Yellow line does not apply unless I actually park on the yellow line and block the road I am guessing.

 

[Fr0dders]

yeah whatever ticket you get will be from the land owner, not from a council parking officer for breaking the single yellow rules.

Ahh good good, worse case scenario I can feel like a rebel and not pay it

And the clamper keeps the car...?


at least until you get a court-order to release it.

Can't clamp without prior warning that you may be clamed for parking there.

Not enforceable no, which is why I mentioned the court order.

There are clamping firms who will clamp you regardless, even put up signage after the fact and rely on you needing your vehicle immediately thus forcing you to make payment to release it.

There is a reason why clamping is being outlawed after all.

I'm in a city centre right next to a police station ironically, so hopefully can avoid those.

In all honesty can't see anything wrong with parking where I have but only time will tell.

 

[AtreuS]

Maybe give us co-ordinates on google maps so we can see the real deal?

I thought it had been already.

 

[Castiel]

I thought it had been already.

Not yet as far as I am aware. It's part of the Freedom Bill which doesn't come before Parliament until at least November.

I may be mistaken however.
