Vehicles should not normally be parked wholly or partly on verges and footways because doing so causes an obstruction and a danger to pedestrians, people with disabilities, children and other vulnerable people.

Traffic signs play a vital role in directing, informing and controlling road users’ behaviour to make the roads as safe as possible for everyone. This makes knowledge of traffic signs essential, not just for new drivers or riders needing to pass their theory test, but for all road users, including experienced professional drivers.

In all cases, your vehicle must be parked entirely within the bay markings otherwise you may receive a parking ticket even if other vehicles were poorly parked when you arrived. If your vehicle is too large to fit in the bay there is also a possibility that you will receive a parking ticket. You should try to find a bay where your vehicle does fit.

Car parks operated by local councils are generally regulated by law. Typically, a principal sign will be displayed near the entrance to the car park describing who the car park is for, and if there are time limits on how long it is possible to stay for and details of any charges or free periods that may apply. Local signage in and around the car park may provide more information. These car parks follow specific rules regarding the scale of any penalties for not complying with the regulations of parking there and usually but not always these will be advertised locally too.
