WHERE EALING COUNCIL GETS ITS POWERS TO ACT

Ealing Council derives its powers to act concerning road traffic from the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984. Key sections include authority to issue traffic regulation orders, designate paying parking places, and regulate parking charges. Driveway markings play a crucial role in parking enforcement. Yellow lines prevent all parking during operating hours, while white lines allow CPZ permit holders to park across driveways. Residents can express preferences on marking types, with the most popular options being considered for implementation. Further details on CPZ permits and regulations can be found in the Ealing Council Parking Code of Practice.

Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984Sections applying to CPZs • Section 6 – Authority to issue traffic regulation orders • Section 45 – Designation of paying parking places on highways • Section 46 – Charges and regulation of designated parking places • Section 49 – Supplementary provisions as to designated parking places (incl removal of vehicles by council/police in emergencies) • Section 124 – Provisions as to certain orders • Schedule 9 Part IV – Variation and revocation of certain orders
Q4 - DO YOU WANT YOUR DRIVEWAY MARKED? • YELLOW LINE – will prevent ANY parking during operating times for you, your visitors or anyone else • WHITE LINE – will allow ANYONEwith a Resident/Business/Visitor CPZ parking permit to park across ANY white-lined drive in that zone • ‘Registered’ driveways will NOT be protected against CPZ permit parking during the CPZ operating hours • The option favoured by the majority of respondents will be applied across the zone [usually white lines]. • If you would prefer a Yellow line to a White line where the default ruling is for WHITE lines you will have to ‘make a case’ for it to Ealing Council • A single yellow line will be introduced by default where a driveway provides access to shared property
Can I continue to park across my driveway? READING BETWEEN THE LINES! If a residents bay marking [the outer dotted line] is placed across a driveway. Then the driveway will be accompanied by a white advisoryline, showing that access is needed at all times. However permit holders using their own driveway or their visitors [and anybody else] displaying a validated visitors voucher can park across a driveway without being penalised with a parking ticket YELLOW DRIVEWAY LINES – NO PARKING BY ANYONE DURING CPZ HOURS NOTE: Where a driveway provides access to a shared property i.e. a block of flats, or houses converted into flats, a single yellow line will be introduced by default, unless requested otherwise. [Not clear whether this applies to a shared driveway between two semi-detached houses] WHITE DRIVEWAY LINES – ANYBODY WITH A CPZ PERMIT CAN PARK DURING CPZ HOURS • ‘Registered’ driveways will NOT be protected against CPZ permit parking during the CPZ operating hours
WILL I GET THE DRIVEWAY LINE COLOUR I CHOOSE? “The most popular option is usually applied across the whole zone. However, if a particular streetexpressed great demand for the alternative option, it may be considered.” [ Anthony Crane, Ealing CPZ Engineer, 10 April 2013]
