Topic : Parking |
|
| The Stig |
Where in the Highway Code does it say that cars can be parked on pavements? Honda CRV outside the Bridge Chippy!!! saw a young mum with a pushchair have to go into the road in the dark to get around. |

The pavement outside Aire Valley Insurance becomes a parking place every night pretty much as soon as traffic wardens knock off for the day. The Honda sounds like the chippy owner but he usually parks right up against the chippy on the bit bit of land he owns. Its flagged where as the council footpath is tarmac. |

Dig up the pavements, you know it makes sense! You couldn't do this on the main roads but you could on the side roads. The lack of a pavement would give the road back to the pedestrian and how many cars would dare to block an entrance. The fact that traffic could expect to see pedestrians in the middle of the road would make speeding non existent and the side street saver for all. |

It is not an offence to park on a footpath, Provided you do not obstruct the passage of a wheelchair or double buggy. Parking outside the bridge chippy is an offence because there is a double white line in the middle of the road, (I know the line is not solid on both side, it doesn't have to be.) The point is you can't cause and obstruction. Peter, pedestrians in the road is a good way of killing them all off, drivers do not oven see cars with lights on. |

Grandad, read my post again please. I live on a road which doesn't have a pavement. No residents have been run down and cars do drive slower. |

Im no lover of Bradford Council, however they did have one good policy.They removed grass verges on Cornwall,Gloucester and Kent Avenues, filling in with tarmac to allow people to park on what was formally a verge but is now part of the footpath. People didnt have cars when the houses were built so this fix was put in place because it was a cost effective way of making sure the highway was not obstructed for the likes of residents and emergency vehicles. Of course its a different matter if the path is blocked especially on main roads. A minimum of 1.2m should be left for wheelchair/pushchair users.Mind you some footpaths are not that wide to start with like the path to the railway station.By Jacksons field its about 400mm |

try thanet garth too infact most streets or housing estates in silsden |
|
| ginjo |
there is a red car at the first house on thanet garth that is nearly always fully on the pavement, do the pcso's take any action when they see illegal parking, I have seen the pcso walking round and having a good look at houses and down drives etc but would they knock on someones door and tell them to move their car if it was blocking the pavement etc? |

There is a real issue here about parking and what to do for the best. I used to park on the road outside my house and half on and half off the pavement - leaving room for pushchairs etcetera. There was a routine visit from a community policeman who advised that it was not allowed to park like this. So I parked fully in the road. Later, there was an occasion when a large vehicle found it difficult to pass along the road because of car parking. I then realised that an emergency vehicle might be delayed/obstructed. So I returned to parking 'on-off'. What to do for the best? |

It would seem to be a grey area, one says you can another says you can't. As I live on the same road as you I can see your frustration, like many estates this was not built to accommodate the number of cars both resident and non that it now has to. Where is it stated in law that you can or can't park on a pavement? That might be a good place to start. |
