christgill Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Are these, in East Dulwich Grove, the shortest double yellows in the borough?(Sorry the picture's a bit dark - it was taken at 2.30am) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53341-shortest-double-yellow-lines-in-se22/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'd be tempted to get out the yellow paint and write "RSE" after it. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53341-shortest-double-yellow-lines-in-se22/#findComment-813853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DulwichFox Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I was under the impression you had to have your wheels on the lines to get a ticket. ...SO could you park your car with its wheels either side of the lines. ???

Stand to be corrected though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53341-shortest-double-yellow-lines-in-se22/#findComment-814701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 What is not clear, I now realise, from the picture, is what is the parking opportunity on either side of this yellow? If is is placed to obviate parking on either side (because the spaces left are too small) it's quite an economic use of the paint.

If it's just a little bit over, you can usually often appeal on the principle of de minimus (the law does not deal in trifling matters), but since you'd be straddling the entire length of this particular line you'd probably fail. Mind you, you might be able to appeal on the basis that the line is pretty damn de minimus in itself...

christgill Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 To the left of the double yellows is a white bar to prevent parking across a driveway. To the right is nothing. The line painters have presumably been told to mark lines from the junction with Red Post Hill to a point x metres along East Dulwich Grove. They've done this, carefully ending with a bar as they've come to each driveway and restarting on the other side. However, "x metres" is a point about 40 centimetres the other side of a driveway and they've dutifully marked the lines rather than take the pragmatic view that they're a bit bloody pointless! (I would guess that the line markers are not authorized to use common sense.)
