Hi all
If there is a single white line across a drive entrance is it illegal to park there ?

cant answer your question but feel lucky you have white lines, most in the midlands have gone along time ago.

Interesting.
I'd go with
"Please correct me if I'm wrong... my understanding is that H bars are advisory only, and that they're a good deterrent but not
actually enforceable. The point of them is that they illustrate a possible obstruction, and BiB can act on that. That's what Reading council
told me anyway"
Nothing in Highway code either?

Yeah if it's a driveway you can't park infront of it, unless you have permission of the person's house it is, cause who else is
gonna complain? 
Which incidently is why I want a set of these when I have a drive!:
so if someone does park there, slide them under the handbraked wheels and wheel it out the way

I think this is where it gets complicated.
The deeds to my house say I have a legal right of access to my property and since the driveway is the only point of access then it cannot be
obstructed, but its not a traffic offence to stop outside my driveway. If I call the police they can move the obstruction on but cannot 'issue a
ticket' as no traffic offence has occurred. I could take legal action for preventing right of access but thats something different again.
Our local firestation has yellow no obstructon hatched boxes outside the doors, it is an offence to stop here as you cannot stop in a yellow hatched
box.

I was told by the plod that you can park across a driveway when there is no car in the drive but if there is a car in the drive you cannot park as you
would be preventing the owner the use of their car. I didn't believe him then and I still don't believe him now.

What if that same drive had a large gate halfway down it, obstructing from view the car parked behind it?, The car is still parked on the
drive...... So I think that copper needs to do some homework in future before offering such information .

And preferably left at an angle where it can't be driven out!
