Mrs G got a parking ticket yesterday apparently for the offence "pakred adjacent to a dropped footway"
In fact she parked straddling a "raised roadway"... they built recently I guess what you could call "speed ramps", they are the full width of road but the kind of width that in some cases sees them painted as zebra crossings, more like a ramp than a bump but in this case not painted with any markings at all.
Anyway, no yellow lines, single or double, a sign along the stretch of road that indicates parking is allowed between 10am and 2pm, and as said, although the road is raised to level with pavement where she parked, the pavement is not lowered, and is NOT marked in anyway as a crossing, except (hindsight is great), the pavement at that point has "bobbles" which I think are sometimes used to help the blind find a crossing?
I have seen many types of traffic calming measures, including this kind of ramp/raised roadway, but with no parking regulations indicated at side to inform of any difference betwen here and where the road drops down, whats is the forums perspective
Thanks
GUY
