A significant change to parking regulations is on the horizon in England, with a nationwide ban on pavement parking expected to be introduced. This move, already in effect in London, aims to improve accessibility for pedestrians, particularly those with disabilities or parents with prams, by keeping footpaths clear. For learner drivers, understanding these new rules is crucial.
During your driving lessons, your instructor will guide you through legal and safe parking practices, and this upcoming ban adds another layer of important knowledge. It means you’ll need to be extra vigilant about where you leave your vehicle, ensuring all four wheels remain on the road unless explicitly permitted by signage. Practising alternative parking methods like bay parking and parallel parking will become even more vital. Stay informed, practice safe parking, and prepare for a smoother, safer pedestrian environment.
