Parking across my own dropped kerb - with a white line.

[apguy]

I've recently moved and now have a garage, with a dropped kerb outside. On the remainder of the road it's double yellow lines, but across my dropped kerb there are no yellow lines but a single white line with T bar terminators at each end.

So my simple question is: Can I park on the road, in front of my garage?

Thanks.

Ta muchly, and you will be very pleased to know that my cars are already inside the garage, I just wanted to know if it was alright to direct visitors to park outside on the rare occasions that other parking was unavailable.

Surely the double yellows are to prevent the road being obstructed, so if you (or a visitor ) park on the single white line at your drive then the vehicle is still going to be obstructing the road?

Well I appreciate the rolled eyes, but you neither know my garage arrangement nor the road in question. So to assist in your understanding:

Mine is the garage on the right with the white line outside it. Google StreetView managed to snap the picture before the ever zealous and car hating Brighton & Hove council painted the unrequired double yellow lines.

It's well within 10 metres of a junction so you could risk falling foul of RTA 1988 Section 22. Not an LA matter (not listed in the civil Contravention Codes) so they would need to involve the police if they wanted to make an issue of it.

What junction is within 10 metres?

The one to the main road is a good 30 metres away and there is no junction in front. The road merely sweeps around to the left into the rear entrance to a school and the bit on the right is an unrestricted parking area (albeit with only room for 2 cars). There are no junction marking or indications otherwise.

See I did wonder if this was such a simple question
