Double or single yellow lines (indicating waiting restrictions) can be used to manage parking.
You may want to request yellow lines if you notice:
- parked vehicles causing obstruction close to a junction
- a road safety problem (such as vehicles parking on the brow of a hill, or on a corner)
Email our Traffic Management Team with your request, giving reasons.
Yellow lines application process
After we've received your request, we'll:
- contact you within 10 working days to let you know we've received it
- tell you what action we'll take (if any)
If you haven't heard from us within 10 working days, contact us to check its status.
H-Bar carriageway markings
We can't introduce yellow lines to protect a private driveway entrance.
However, you can request H-Bar carriageway markings for your dropped kerb entrance.
