Comment on Councils call for pavement parking to be banned across England
AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 7 months agoFrom the highway code:
244
You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London, and should not do so elsewhere unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs.
Law GL(GP)A sect 15
Signs explicitly permitting it are rare.

Law GL(GP)A is the Greater London (General Powers) Act, it has no bearing on what happens outside of London. “Should” instructions in the Highway Code are guidance for best practice and are not enforceable in and of themselves.
