double yellows q?
Discussion
They need the T's on the ends. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to post a link to the regs.Don't think so, if they're there, then they're there!
They do have to go through the proceedure of notice of prohibition, prior to being able to fine anyone for parking on them. This is 99% of the time done well before the lines are painted, but now and again there's the odd one that doesn't follow proceedure, and eggs are caught squarely in the mush by councils when it comes to light.
There are also the oddball "wins" when a patch of road (containing yellow lines) has been repaired and resurfaced, thus leaving a patch without lines, the authorities will fight that the prohibition order still stands and it is displayed on the sign, although the lines are actually missing.
Getting down to yellow lines and there meaning, ALWAYS check the plate on the post.
ANY yellow line along the roadside is a "Parking/waiting restriction" There are basically 3 sorts, ie.....single dashed line, single solid line, & double solid line.
The middle one of the 3 (single solid) means no parking/waitng in *The working day* that could mean anything similar to 9am to 5pm etc. (whetever the working day is around there)
The "stronger" of the 3 restrictions (Double solid) means *more than the working day* and could be "All times" or "8am to 8pm" etc.
The lesser of the 3,the dashed line, is still a parking/waiting prohibition, but means *less than the working day* that can mean anything from limited time tp park, ie. 1 hour, or no parking between peek periods, or even just on certain days.
So it always pays to check the plate on the post!
PS. Learnt all this MANY years ago for my HGV test.
And the same applies to the lines over the curbs, but they relate to Loading.

For a DYL there has to be a Traffic Regulation Order which will set out the extent in metres its length.
A prohibition has to be signed in accordance with what is stated in Traffic Signs and General Direction 2002 as to size and colour etc.
If not then the DYL do not conform and arguement that no offence committed.
The sign for DYL under the TSGD is Diagram 1018.1 which does had a T bar at the start and finish.

Any gaps in them or missing signeage and you are off on a technicality So when parking at the end of a set of DYLs would you be guilty if your front or rear of the car over hung the DYLs, yet the front/rear wheel was not over them?
I only ask as I checked it with a Warden once when I did this and he said it was fine and certainly didn’t give me a ticket once I was out of sight. On the other hand a mate of mine got a ticket for doing the same thing last week.

You just had a nice warden. I only ask as I checked it with a Warden once when I did this and he said it was fine and certainly didn’t give me a ticket once I was out of sight. On the other hand a mate of mine got a ticket for doing the same thing last week.
There was a case in Edinburgh reported a couple of years on the BBC news website about a guy who was painting over the DYL's outside his house and then parking his car - once the paint dried, of course. See link:
