Sections 14 - 22

Sections 23 - 31

Sections 32 - 63

Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984Sections applying to CPZs

• Section 6 – Authority to issue traffic regulation orders

• Section 45 – Designation of paying parking places on highways

• Section 46 – Charges and regulation of designated parking places

• Section 49 – Supplementary provisions as to designated parking places (incl removal of vehicles by council/police in emergencies)

• Section 124 – Provisions as to certain orders

• Schedule 9 Part IV – Variation and revocation of certain orders

Q4 - DO YOU WANT YOUR DRIVEWAY MARKED?

• YELLOW LINE – will prevent ANY parking during operating times for you, your visitors or anyone else

• WHITE LINE – will allow ANYONE with a Resident/Business/Visitor CPZ parking permit to park across ANY white-lined drive in that zone

• ‘Registered’ driveways will NOT be protected against CPZ permit parking during the CPZ operating hours

• The option favoured by the majority of respondents will be applied across the zone [usually white lines].

• If you would prefer a Yellow line to a White line where the default ruling is for WHITE lines you will have to ‘make a case’ for it to Ealing Council

• A single yellow line will be introduced by default where a driveway provides access to shared property

READING BETWEEN THE LINES! If a residents bay marking [the outer dotted line] is placed across adriveway. Then the driveway will be accompanied by a white advisory line, showing that access is needed at all times. However permit holders using their own driveway or their visitors [and anybody else] displaying a validated visitors voucher can park across a driveway without being penalised with a parking ticket

YELLOW DRIVEWAY LINES – NO PARKING BY ANYONE DURING CPZ HOURS

WHITE DRIVEWAY LINES – ANYBODY WITH A CPZ PERMIT CAN PARK

DURING CPZ HOURS

Can I continue to park across my driveway?

NOTE: Where a driveway provides access to a shared property i.e. a block of flats, or houses converted into flats, a single yellow line will be introduced by default, unless requested otherwise. [Not clear whether this applies to a shared driveway between two semi-detached houses]•‘Registered’ driveways will NOT be protected against CPZ permit parking during the CPZ operating hours

WILL I GET THE DRIVEWAY LINE COLOUR I CHOOSE?

“The most popular option is usually applied across the whole zone.

However, if a particular street expressed great demand for the alternative option, it may be considered.”

[ Anthony Crane, Ealing CPZ Engineer, 10 April 2013]
