The restrictions are shown by yellow lines on the edge of the carriageway and via sign plates.

Two types of yellow lines are used:

• Double lines usually to mark lengths of road where there is no waiting at any time. However there are exceptions to this and supplementary plates fixed to lighting columns or posts will tell you what the actual restriction is.
• Single lines usually indicate a shorter period of restriction such as daytime. Again supplementary plates will show the actual times.

Loading restrictions are shown by yellow markings on the kerb and on the supplementary plates.

• to request waiting restrictions (yellow lines) please fill in the Traffic Request Form (see 'Downloads') providing the reasons and as much information as possible

A consultation and legal procedure is followed which typically takes 6-9 months.  Any objections are considered by the Highways and Planning Committee.
