Diagram c – Carriageway markings for standard bus bay 8.10 The Regulations also allow for an additional form of carriageway marking with a single broad yellow line applied alongside the kerb.This is shown in
Diagrams 8d (straight kerb) and
8e(lay- by).The legislation for this marking provides a ban on parking within the marked length fora specific
period less than 24 hours. Each application requires individual advertisement providing an opportunity for objection.There is a legislative requirement to sign the prohibitions for the additional yellow kerbline.These lines offer enhanced prominence and visibility. It is generally considered that a blanket
24-hour ban on parking is not required, and only leads to noncompliance, thus bringing the system into disrepute.This alternative form of marking will allow the prohibition to be more targeted and therefore more enforceable.
