Roadside Parking
Helpful member
The road outside our house is public unmarked parking. Everybody can park there. Parking can be tight but it’s very rare that is a space not available. I’ve a gate into front yard and low kerb access. Parking inside gate not possible as have trailer and other stuff there. Nobody ever parks outside my gate or blocks it and I’ve been parking there myself as it’s my entrance and I’m giving neighbors a bit more room either side for their cars by doing so. Now a pal who’s lived here nearly 2 decades has said that by blocking my own gate and parking alongside a lowered kerb I could be committing a parking offence and get ticketed. Sounds strange as it’s myself I’d be blocking ?. I’d be very interested in any opinions
