Hi, I am confused I tried to check with the HC, but it’s not clear for me, I bet you will be able to answer my question.
So:
Arround my place is very hard to find some parking space. But there is one place, which is not often used by the others and I wonder if it’s becouse it’s illegal to park there or not.
The question is: I know it’s illegal to park on zig-zags, but what’s if next to zig-zags is the laybe, so I don’t really park on the street?
See red vehicle on the picture: is it parked legally or not?

i may be wrong here but if cops passed when you parked there you would get 3 points and £60 fine, i guess those lines are like that is so people can see clearly when they approach the crossing? and also gives drivers a better view of people waiting to cross the crossing, as say somebody plonks a transit or MPV then the views of the driver and pedestrain of each other are restricted or may be not someone will be along shortly.

Good point, but I have taken it into consideration. Due to the pavement ending at the edge of the road, not as deep as it has place where the laybe is, the cars parked there do not obstruct view of someone who would like to pass… I amended picture to that occasion:
On the other side of the pedestrian crossing there is a phonebox in analogic position to the red car and noone is worried about that obstructing view…
Just my opinion here, but I See no problem with parking there simply because the crossing is visible when the driver approaches it, it’s the drivers responsibility to ensure the crossing is clear whether or not a truck was parked in the lay by in the same way its the pedestrians responsibility to ensure its safe to cross.
I think the biggest giveaway is the lights that would be on the crossing I.E Red or Green or the Red or Green Man for Pedestrians.
Yep, you are safe Orys. It doesnt seem like the Polis are too worried as there are cars and vans all around parked too close to junctions and on yellow lines.
I grabbed a fish supper on the way back though.
