Parking and Dropped Kerbs

Parking on the road in front of a footway crossover/dropped kerb (that serves as a vehicle access) is illegal.

A parking space cannot be provided in front of a crossover since this would obstruct the legal right of access to the off-street parking space.

In Controlled Parking Zones

In Controlled Parking Zones all accesses are marked with a yellow line. The Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions will not allow the Council to introduce any alternative arrangements.

Therefore any motorist, including the occupier of the property, parking on a yellow line in front of a crossover may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.
