Hi everyboby, just found this site, and iv a question, a few weeks ago the council painted d yellow lines up our street, i phoned to find out why, seemily someone had a problem turning into the street, so council and police decided to apply yellow lines, the guy said to me, park on the the lines there are no traffic wardens in the area and the police wont bother unless you cause an obstruction, but a few days later the police said move the vehicles or be ticketed, to which i replied if i cant park up a side street causing no problem, then il park on the main road where there are no restrictions, which i did at 5 pm the same cop came to my door and said your causing mayhem out there move your vehicle or il get a vrs, anyway i still refused to move, just to prove a point, this stand of lasted about 1 hr until another cop arrived and begged me to move which eventually i did, the traffic police arrived after i moved and said i wasnt really doing anything wrong, but if obstruction is proved they can move my motor, the road in question is 30mph totally straight no restrictions at all, any replies welcomed ,sorry for such a long post, thanks, ps i live in scotland incase there is a differance in law.
As far as I understand it, there is no general right to park on the public highway. If the police deemed your car to be an obstruction, you were lucky not to get a ticket or even towed away. This applies to all roads, including those with no restrictions.
Regulation 103 Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 states that it an offence to leave a vehicle or trailer on 'any' road causing an unnecessary obstruction.

So if the police want , they can ticket you lines or no lines, there are houses along this road and people do park, albeit mostly with 3/4 of the car on the pavement
what constitutes an obstruction
