Ticket issued

During patrols today, officers issued a ticket to this vehicle for contravening the white line system on Alport Lane, Alport near Youlgrave.

This vehicle had parked near a sign advising them of the offence by parking at the location and while there were spaces to park safely on the road or nearby.

Sadly, even with these signs in place motorists still commit offences putting themselves and other road users at risk.

This is the reason that the Safer Neighbourhood Team will continue to enforce the prohibition of parking at these locations where a white line system is present.

We all share the road, so let’s be responsible and park properly!

Rule 240 of the Highway Code says;

You MUST NOT stop or park on:
• The carriageway or hard shoulder of a motorway, except in an emergency
• A pedestrian crossing, including the area marked by white zig zag lines
• A clearway
• Taxi bays, as indicated by upright signs and road markings
• An Urban Clearway during its hours of operation, except to pick up or set down passengers
• A road marked with double white lines, even when the line nearer to you is broken
