Inklin Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow you guys park on the curb / sidewalk? we'd get a big fine if we did that here.... A lot of places the roads are not big enough to park on whilst allowing room for other vehicles to pass safely. It is annoying for us people that have to walk on the paths though but it's not really the car owners fault.

tom01 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow you guys park on the curb / sidewalk? we'd get a big fine if we did that here.... You can do it as long as the curb isn't dropped (for drive ways). To be honest though you'll get in more trouble if you don't park on the curb because people get proper angry because they can't get by. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882712-uk-google-street-view-update/#findComment-592337648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain road markings on roads. In residential areas you're allowed to park on the curb since there is literally nowhere else to park. But if you see a double yellow line, your ass will be fined if you park over it.:shiftyninja: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882712-uk-google-street-view-update/#findComment-592337872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
