WHERE EALING COUNCIL GETS ITS POWERS TO ACT

1. WHERE EALING COUNCIL GETS ITS POWERS TO ACT The Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/27/contents

2. ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS ACT 1984 - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/27/contents Sections 1 - 13 Sections 14 - 22 Sections 23 - 31 Sections 32 - 63

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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]
