From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
This is a strict liability offence in most areas. Even partially on the pavement counts. London has a blanket pavement parking ban. Outside London, rules vary — some councils have specific bays that allow it.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- No clear marking or sign prohibiting pavement parking in that specific location (outside London)
- Verge is not publicly maintained
- Emergency access necessity
Your rights
Outside London, check whether your council has a specific TRO in place for that road. Without one, this code may not apply.
