Pavement parking legislation

There is nowhere else to park, what can I do?
In some locations, some residents feel they have no option but to park on the footway. This is no longer legal. You will need to find an alternative location to park.

If I park on the road, I will block the traffic – what I am supposed to do?
In most cases, parking with all four wheels of your vehicle on the road carriageway should not block the road to other traffic. If that is the case, it would be advisable to park elsewhere because it is an offence to block traffic and Police Scotland may take action.

I only had one wheel on the pavement – could I still receive a Penalty Charge Notice?
Potentially yes, the law states that even one wheel on the pavement is enough to result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued to your vehicle. Please make sure you park with all four wheels on the road. 

Can I pull over on the pavement to collect or drop off passengers?
No, you would be liable to receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
