A 'no waiting' sign with a single yellow line means you can't wait there during the times shown on the sign.

If there aren't any signs to restrict parking, you can park on a residential street as long as you follow all the other rules about yellow lines, double yellow lines and white lines. If you’re a Blue Badge carrier, you can usually park on both double and single yellow lines for up to 3 hours, providing you have your badge clearly on display.

The easiest and safest place to park is in a marked parking bay, either in a car park or at the road side. Single red lines mean you can’t park, stop or load during specified time periods that should be displayed clearly on surrounding signs.Privately owned car parks can set their own restrictions and fines so always look for signs regarding parking restrictions.

Using information gleaned from Transport for London and Cardiff City Council – where there are already enforcement powers – Sam Wright and the RAC believe a box junction is a traffic control measure designed to prevent gridlock at junctions. This will inevitably lead to an unnecessarily high number of appeals for local authorities to review, as well as some poor outcomes for drivers. As with disabled spaces in private car parks, you could be asked to move your car if you've wrongly parked there.
