consecutive months. Yellow plates are no longer used where the restriction
applies all year round
Waiting
prohibited between times shown on the sign
|
Waiting restrictions are indicated byboth signs and road markings.
Therestrictions usually apply to thewhole of the highway, includingverges
and footways. Drivers maystop to pick up or set downpassengers and,
where notprohibited, to load and unload.Disabled blue badge holders
canusually park for up to three hoursor, in Scotland, without a
time limit(see The Blue Badge Scheme –Explanatory Book published
by theDepartment for Transport; visitwww.dft.gov.uk).
Yellow lines along the edge of thecarriageway, parallel to the kerb,indicate
that restrictions are inforce. In environmentally sensitiveareas,
a pale shade of yellow maybe used and the width of the linesmay
be reduced. Except incontrolled parking zones (seepage 52), small
yellow plates are normally erected adjacent tothe carriageway to
give details of the times of operation of therestrictions. Where
the yellow plate does not indicate the days ofthe week, the restrictions
apply at the same times every day,including Sunday. If a bank holiday
falls on a day when therestrictions are in operation, the restrictions
apply in the normalway unless the plate states that they do not.
Special restrictionsmay apply on days when a large event is being
held at a nearbystadium or arena; these will also be shown on the
plates. |
