Why do the have double yellow lines on them? Its not like your gonna park there unless its an emergency.

For the same reason they have those annoying "Go left" adverts. People are stupid.

Parking restrictions have to be defined. If they are not defined then the default applies and in the UK the default rule is you can park anywhere.

In actual fact, you can't park anywhere: parking is not provided for but the offence of causing an obstruction is. I know what you mean though.
