Steptoad Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Do you only use parking bays on overcast days? Some cars and 4x4s seem to be too long for today's standard parking bays (which seem to be getting smaller and smaller) anyway, so I guess there must be some flexibility. I try not to have to park outside the hours of 11.00 and 13.00 that's when the shadow is most negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Assuming that the yellow lines are there to keep a section of road clear if you are blocking any section of the area covered by the yellow lines you are likely to get a ticket. Think about it, could you park a trailer or a caravan with the wheel on the clear section of the road but with a huge section overhanging the yellow lines ………… I don’t think so.

perplexed Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'd imagine it would be the bumpers. I'd say that some restrictions are in place to ensure sight lines at crossings or junctions. For example the zig zags on crossings. A vehicle with a large over hang, but with the wheels not on the restriction, would still potentially restrict views.

truman Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've been wondering, for yellow line purposes, does a car start at its tyres or the front of its bumper? Could you park and inch from your tyres being on the double yellows if your... front... extended another 2 feet (over the lines)? Not really an issue with my Ka, but I'm curious. When you're at a stop sign do you stop with your wheels on the line or when the front of the car is at the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
