If it is a private road:
(a) it's not part of the public highway, so any tickets would be invalid
(b) it follows it must be owned by someone, usually the residents and would be mentioned in their deeds. A search at the Land Registry Online of any adjoining properties might help establish this. |

| | Basic Account Customer | Re: Tickets on unadopted road It will be a "public road" though for the purposes of the Road Traffic Act; this means you can be prosecuted for driving offences committed on it (such as driving without due care, no insurance and so on). This commonly catches people out in supermarket car parks where they think the law doesn't apply (usually they nip off after damaging a car thinking they don't have to report it).
However, I can see no right for the council to issue penalties or require permits whatsoever. This would all lie in the court order, so I'd suggest going back to that and seeing if someone at work perhaps could help you understand it.
Or post it on here and see if anyone can help. Also consider posting it on Traffic Answers or PePiPoo. |

Guest | Re: Tickets on unadopted road I live in such a road and have just written to the council regarding the lack of policing and ruthless and dangerous parking on the road by commuters (the road is a 2 minutes walk from a train which takes you in 20 minutes to Liverpool Street in London). From what I understand, the police can only give a valid parking ticket if there are markings on the road, which is obviously not the case on an unadopted road. | |

| | Basic Account Customer | Re: Tickets on unadopted road I have another query re unadopted roads. I live very near one, in fact the public road in fornt of my house turns into an unadopted road at the end. There is a cul de sac of 4 homes on the unadopted road. Our section of the road has 8 houses without ample parking for 2 cards each house (which is the norm giving the demands of modern work/life)...
Some of us park out cars on the unadopted road and move them on the day the dustmen come, and have been obliging when other HGVs and deliveries are made.
However, recently, the residents on the unadopted road have started to harass us and our visitors claiming that the raod is private and that they cannot park there. I think technically and legally, this argument is not correct.
They also claim that the HGV deliveries that do come sometimes drive up on the curb and cause some damage. I have offered to pay for the damage, but this has been dismissed.
They are now claiming that they are seeking to make the road totally private and to bar any access to the road unless cleared by them. Again, I think this action will be difficult to sustain legally.
In the interest of the community and in the absence of the willingness of the council to adopt the road, I am willing to pay an annual maintenance fee.
Instead, it looks like we are headed toward an impasse in which the only recourse is police involvement, which sounds extreme given that a possible soution could be found if we work together.
The only other alternative is that we displace our cars to a narrow section of our street and reduce accessibility to the people on the cul de sac. |
