North Ayrshire Drivers asked to be mindful of parking restrictions

Drivers are reminded that parking violations – including parking on pavements – can mean a fine of up to £100.

The rules, which were introduced across North Ayrshire last summer, mean that anyone parked illegally and in contravention of local parking restrictions could face a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).


The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 introduced a pavement parking ban in Scotland and more local authorities across Scotland are now enforcing the measure.


In addition to pavements, drivers cannot park on common areas such as promenades and grass verges adjacent to the pavement which are used by pedestrians.


Where parking behaviour obstructs the passage of traffic then restrictions such as double yellow lines will be considered to regulate this.


In addition to pavement parking, PCNs may be issued for a range of offences including parking on double yellow lines; in a disabled bay without a blue badge; parking in a bus stop or taxi rank; and double parking.


Drivers are advised are advised to check for any parking restrictions when parking their vehicle.
