WHERE EALING COUNCIL GETS ITS POWERS TO ACT The Road Traffic Regulations Act

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS ACT Sections Sections Sections Sections

Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 Sections 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 a driveway. 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]
