Hundreds of daily drivers flout Norfolk Road's double yellow lines

Hundreds of drivers flout the double yellow lines outside of #Londis on #Norfolk Road most days and there is barely a traffic warden in sight to enforce the parking offenses.

Multiple drivers are parking on Norfolk Road's double yellow lines despite most cars displaying no blue badge or other legal exemption to this law.

Many drivers are not only parking on the double yellow lines but also parking on the pavement outside of Londis despite driving on a public footpath being illegal under section 72 of The Highway Act 1835.

Some residents of Littlehampton have complained about the parking on both the pavement and double yellow lines, requesting that a traffic warden is sent out to enforce the law.

Parking on the pavement is specifically a crime in #London, but not elsewhere, however, the #law does prohibit driving on the pavement and this is a national criminal offense, so wherever you are in the #UK, it's illegal to park on a public footpath except to gain lawful access to property or attend to an emergency.

Blue badge holders are permitted to park on double yellow lines for up to three hours providing there badge is displayed correctly and it is safe to do so.
