Commercial Loading and Unloading
You are allowed to wait when delivering and collecting or loading and unloading goods or equipment. It must be necessary for you to park, not merely convenient and you may only park for as long as it is necessary to load/unload. You cannot load/unload where it is prohibited, for example, on the approaches either side of a pedestrian crossing (identified by zigzag markings) or where there are yellow ‘blip’ markings on the kerb. Where a length of road is reserved for loading only, there will be a white bay marking and the words ‘LOADING ONLY’ on the carriageway. In addition a sign will indicate the time of operation.
