Parking query

ezra_

Hello,

I've seen this type of 'No Parking' showing up in my local village, and in other ones nearby. They seem to be popping up outside of where businesses have a car park.

Is this actually a valid no parking sign? I thought no parking would be zig-zag, as opposed to a 'yellow box' which would be a junction?

I don't think this is a proper no=parking sign either?

You clearly have an agenda here

perhaps

The style and colours are irrelevant, it's on private property so the signage has no legal effect.

I would have thought it was obvious not to block the gate, especially when there's a yellow box there. But that's just me I suppose.

It might have no legal standing, but it's certainly bad manners. Why would you block someone's access to their own property?

If someone has to put a "no parking" sign on their gate it's because people are thoughtless.

I'm just interested.
I generally don't block gates or entrances, and do respect signs like that. Do unto others, etc.

However, I was just surprised to see a 'yellow box' in lieu of the zig zags, and was wondering what its actual legal standing was.

Wouldn't the entrance leading up to that gate be considered a right of way and entrance to a property, why would anyone block an entrance even if there was no sign on the gate

The yellow box may apply to vehicles exiting whatever business or premises is inside that gate

You can be curious as to the legality of the signage without intending to block the entrance / ignore them.

What type of business is behind the gate ?

Is the hatched area public property ?

The yellow box is due to the 'park anywhere' type of people.

It is an offense to obstruct a vehicular entrance.

Its a private entrance, I don't think there is a business there.

Yes, the hatch is on the road and the footpath.
