Jamp Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hi All, Just back from Cineworld where the car park was full as usual so I parked on pavement on the road heading out. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4040079,-1.4152107,3a,75y,171.01h,89.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1swDAar4gRkmND_N7czYT3GA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 There are double yellows on the road there but I was fully on the pavement which is very wide (enough for wheelchair to pass comfortably with cars there) and has a segregated line down it as if it's intended for parking (or a cycle lane - but no signs to indicate). People have parked there for years, though I haven't before. The council traffic wardens were there putting a fine on every car parked in such a way when I returned. Presumably they are there every weekend making a killing, so be warned folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Now you know a little bit more about parking, double yellow lines, obstructing cycle paths and endangering footway users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see them all over the place, those parking pavements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansforyou Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 There are big white bicycles painted at the end of pavement. Not cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they are there every weekend making a killing, so be warned folks! Double yellow lines apply to the entire highway (footpaths included). The council regularly enforce parking restrictions here due to the number of people who completely block a cycle path / footpath because they can't be bothered to wait for a space. Thanks for contributing additional tax to the council on behalf of other Sheffield residents! Edited January 7, 2017 by mike84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same place where i got mine 3 yrs ago and they never got a penny off me. Clearly says the council in the opening post. Even in the title of the thread.

jamesogt Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Bang to rights. Park parallel to double yellow be it pavement, verge etc is illegal. Go to Old Trafford every week the council there must issue hundreds in the exact same spots week after week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phili Buster Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Not sure what op is complaining about. Illegally parked and given a ticket what do they expect, a bouquet of flowers perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
