A blanket ban is the only way this would work for me. It would be nigh on impossible to go through inspecting each road at different times of the day to judge suitability for a ban.
We live on a relatively new build estate with limited parking and people park all over the paths. The roads are also very narrow making it a double whammy for pedestrians. One of our neighbours uses a wheelchair and she basically uses the road right through the estate. I've seen lots of very close calls because of pavement parking.

I’m surprised to hear that some councils are only just introducing fines for this now!
We used to live in Brent, London. Our street was a nightmare for parking and DH on occasion had to park 2 wheels on the pavement. There was still plenty of room for a wheelchair or pram to pass. He received a few fines. That was at least 20 years ago. |

Oh they'd have a field day round where we live- we have a drive big enough for our cars, our neighbours have 2 cars and a work van, only a drive big enough for one car, so theirs go on the pavement, along with everyone else who can't be bothered to walk a few hundred yards to park where the road is wider and they wouldn't cause an obstruction.
Years ago where my parents live, there was a fire in a block of flats on their road, the fire engines couldn't get up the road due to the parking on pavement, thankfully nobody died, but they do spot checks every now and then and the traffic wardens are there most days giving out fines. I would say there were a few broken wing mirrors that day as the fire brigade went up. |

I always thought pavement parking was made illegal in Scotland. I know where we live it is as our neighbours always parked their car on the pavement even though they have a 3 car drive so one of them didn’t have to move their car to let the other out. They did this even though we had a neighbour with an electric wheelchair who had to get onto the road to get past their car. They said that now they could be fined they were no longer using the pavement as a parking space.

It's been illegal in London for many years, and in other places parking on pavements should only be done if there are signs saying it is permitted.
I agree that it is a nightmare if you are trying to negotiate a path with a wheelchair or pushchair and there are cars parked on it. It is not always safe to go in the road and you have to find a drop kerb to be able to actually get on and off the road, especially with a wheelchair.

I was going to say it certainly used to be illegal in London borough when I were a lass also the parking of large vans in residential streets . Some roads have a bit of the pavements marked up for two wheel parking that I've seen when I've driven back in, has that changed now?

A quick look at the legislation (Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1974) indicates that there are several exemptions and that notice can be given to allow parking on the pavement, or part thereof.
