regarding town parking and how it applies to the disabled driver

Disabled Parking
|
|
|
Place's where disabled cannot park, regardless of whether or not
their Blue Badge is displayed.
a) Parking where places are reserved for specific users such as
permit holders, doctors, local residents, loading or unloading
bays, taxi bays or cycle lanes.
(Like me below, it was for permit holders who were disabled)
b) Pedestrian crossings (zebra, pelican, toucan and puffin
crossing®,) including areas marked by zigzag lines.
c) Clearways (no stopping).
d) A bus stop clearway during its hours of operation.
e) An urban clearway during its hours of operation. NB
Passengers may be dropped off or picked up.
f) School "keep clear markings during the hours shown on a
yellow no stopping plate
g) During the time a ban on loading or unloading is in force.
h) Bus, tram or cycle lanes or cycle tracks.
i) Where there are double white lines in the center of the road (
even if one of the lines is broken)
j) Suspended meter bays or when the use of the meter is not
allowed.
k) Where temporary parking restrictions are in force, as shown
for example by no-waiting cones.
1) Do not park where it would endanger, inconvenience or
obstruct pedestrians or other road users. Examples of
dangerous or obstructive parking include the following,
although there are others:
• School entrances, bus stops on a bend or hump bridge;
• where it would make it difficult for others to see clearly,
such as close to a junction;
• where it would make the road narrow, such as by traffic
islands or roadwork's:
- where it would hold up traffic, such as m narrow stretches
of road or blocking vehicle entrances;
• where emergency vehicles stop or go in and out. such as
hospital entrances;
• Where the road has been raised or the curb lowered to
help wheelchair users, or on a footpath, unless signs
permit it.

THE BLUE BADGE IS NOT A
LICENSE TO PARK
ANYWHERE. IF YOU PARK WHERE IT WOULD CAUSE AN
OBSTRUCTION OR DANGER TO OTHER ROAD USERS
YOUR VEHICLE COULD BE REMOVED BY THE POLICE |
