Yellow lines on the highway
There are various types of yellow lines that are marked on the road or edge of the pavement/kerb that indicate waiting restrictions.
Loading and unloading? What is a waiting restriction? Restrictions vary from 'no waiting at any time' to 'day time waiting restrictions', which are indicated by time plates. The time plates show when the restrictions are enforced.
Limited waiting restrictions are indicated by a white box marking and loading restrictions are indicated by yellow lines on the side of the pavement/kerb.
Double yellow lines no longer required a “no waiting” signplate, they can be enforced without signage.
You can report worn yellow lines by using our Online Reporting Service.
Traffic Regulation Order Parking restrictions require a traffic regulation order and are installed to improve road safety and reduce congestion. In general terms the order making process requires a decision by the Planning and Transportation Regulatory Panel that the order is needed. At this time the order is advertised and people are given 21 days to object to its installation. Details are available on traffic regulation orders. At the end of this period a report is taken back to the Panel which details the objections and they determine whether or not to introduce it.
If they decide that the order should be introduced the required works (lining, signing etc) are implemented and then the order is “sealed”. Seven days later it can be enforced.
Parking enforcement in Salford Whereas parking used to be controlled by the police, in Salford all non-endorsable parking offences are enforced by Central Parking Service on behalf of Salford City Council.
