No parking.

When I was overnighting at Woolley Edge last week I wandered around the car park and took a few snaps. Got to keep up to date with parking restrictions, and what might happen if you fall foul of them. 

Quite often, in other locations, the signs are not obvious, and hidden at the top of tall metal poles. The writing is so small you need a pair of binoculars to read them. It's easy to be caught out. 

I am forever reading parking signs when I am out and about, and will often choose to leave my car in a residential area, or a wide road where it will not cause an obstruction. I check small signs on posts for restrictions, sometimes residential permits are required. Yellow lines along the edge of the road, whether single or double, should not be ignored.  

A lot more signs will be going up in the future as they bring in even more restrictions about where you can and can't drive, depending on the type of vehicle you have. The push for zero emissions is turning into a bit of a nightmare. It's enough to turn people off driving their car into cities and town centres, which is exactly what they are aiming for. The fear and threats of multiple fines is enough to put anyone off. I shall keep driving for as long as I can, being extra vigilant and looking for signs. 

Time for breakfast. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
