Subject: Dropped Kerbs
Date: 23rd January 08
Comment:
Why are there not double yellow lines in front of drop kerbs? Surely letting cars park in front of them defeats their purpose.
Response:
It is not Portsmouth City Council policy to protect private property with double yellow lines. Double yellow lines are only used for Road Safety and or traffic flow. Entrance markings are enforceable by the Police under the current Obstruction legislation.
Subject: Parking across dropped kerbs
Date: 14th January 08
Comment:
I recently saw a women on a mobility scooter trying to go from the road onto a path, but was blocked by a car parked in front of a drop kerb. Is it illegal to park in front of a drop kerb? If so why are there not double yellow lines in front of them?.
Response:
It is not illegal to park in front of dropped kerbs therefore it can not be enforced by the police or parking attendants unless double yellow lines are present.
