Product Information

There's no fixed amount, and the cost depends on where you get your ticket - charges are usually higher in London. You can stop on a single or double red line to pick up or set down a Blue Badge holder - the badge must be displayed clearly and you must move off promptly.

If you’re a Blue Badge carrier, you can usually park on both double and single yellow lines for up to 3 hours, providing you have your badge clearly on display. That means you need to live in the area, pay for a permit and display it in your vehicle to park there.Drivers may also be surprised to hear that there is no legal requirement for authorities to meet this design criteria and it’s simply down to the competence of the enforcing authority.

If you're visiting from a non-EU country, you should contact the local council of the area you're staying in. The Blue Badge Scheme specifies how many disabled parking spaces a council needs to provide in council car parks or on-street. There may be a private company enforcing the parking rules which can issue a fine (a parking charge notice) or you might be asked to move your car. At signal‑controlled junctions, the queues of traffic left at the end of a green phase have been significantly reduced and there have been marked reductions in injury accidents, especially those involving pedestrians. If you park in a disabled bay and you don't have a Blue Badge displayed, you could get a fixed penalty notice.

Wright explains:"The key design principle is that yellow boxes should be no bigger than is necessary to prevent vehicles obstructing through movements.

Some parking bays will also have limitations on how long you can stay and what type of vehicle can park there. extremely unclear and unhelpful stating: "The purpose of a yellow box marking is to mark an area of carriageway conveying the prohibition that a person must not cause a vehicle to enter the box junction so that the vehicle has to stop within the box junction due to the presence of stationary vehicles (S9‑7‑11). which looks at ‘Suitability’, is more helpful: ‘Experience has shown that the marking improves traffic flow where previously there were delays due to vehicles blocking the junction and impeding the cross flow.Under the rules of the Highway Code, you’re not allowed to enter the yellow box unless your exit is clear and there is enough space on the other side of the junction for your car to clear the box completely without stopping. If these yellow markings are in pairs, it means no loading or unloading at any time - if they're single markings, check the signs for what you can and can't do. You can usually stop to drop off or pick up passengers unless signs say otherwise or there are small yellow lines marked on the pavement at right angles to its edge.

A Blue Badge should not be used to park in a restricted area if the badge holder is not leaving the car. The Highway Code explains that double yellow lines “indicate a prohibition of waiting at any time even if there are no upright signs. Using information gleaned from Transport for London and Cardiff City Council – where there are already enforcement powers – Sam Wright and the RAC believe a box junction is a traffic control measure designed to prevent gridlock at junctions.

Where the road has a solid, unbroken white line running along the side, parking is considered legal.
