Yellow Lines

Yellow lines are provided on the highway where there is a need to restrict parking to help alleviate traffic flow and to prevent obstructions on the highway.
Double or single yellow lines along the edge of the road show the existence of waiting restrictions that apply to the road, pavement and verge. You may, however, load and unload goods or set down and pick up passengers, unless the signs or road markings indicate you cannot.
To introduce waiting restrictions a Traffic Regulation Order needs to be made. This process requires consultation with all interested parties (i.e. - Town/Parish Councils, Thames Valley Police etc) followed by a public advertisement, with public notices posted on site and in the local newspaper.
