The loading gap is the yellow line indicated in the parking lot or the parking lot. Like all yellow lines, it prohibits parking along the entire length.
The key difference between it and the more common yellow lines (called Limited streets) is that the “Downloads” are always marked. at parking place, while limited streets are always marked outside Parking.
The difference is larger than academic, as in the United Kingdom both types of restrictions are applied with different violation codes, and applying the wrong violation code to a vehicle that violates any violation automatically cancels the parking ticket received.
· Gaps are loaded using violation code 20.
· Limited street yellow lines (both single and double yellow lines) are applied with code 01.
Many motorists and parking lots struggle to recognize the difference between the two types of yellow line leading to the appearance and issue of unnecessary and impracticable parking fines.
Their function
As the name implies, “Clearance for loading”, preventing indoor parking (a parking space) allocated for it, provides an island within the parking lot, especially when it is full, for commercial loading and unloading. This ensures reasonable use of road space and its fair distribution between parking and payload in areas where short-term and long-term parking spaces dominate the state highway.
Watch Run
Downloads Gaps are applied during working hours of the CPZ zone with controlled parking, in which they lead. These clocks are indicated on large entrance signs located at the entrance to the zone. Outside working hours of CPZ, a download gap cannot be observed.
Recognition of the download gap
Loading spaces are marked on the parking spaces. But not all types of parking spaces can accommodate one. For a parking space to accommodate the loading gap, it must be divided into separate spaces.
A loading space, usually the length of a standard van, lay between two separate spaces in this parking lot.
Parking / bays in the UK are marked by broken white lines (except for taxi lines marked in broken yellow lines). A parking place is determined by the fact that both of its limits are indicated by the same number of broken white lines.
In the UK, there is only one standard car park that can legally place a “Load Gap”, and this is determined by the UK Traffic main standard, the Road Traffic Regulations and General Directions, TSRGD 2002 - according to its diagram 1032 (or 1033 if the car park is at right angles Curb)
The main distinctive feature of parking 1032 is that its limits are indicated by double broken white lines at each end. This leaves it possible to further subdivide the parking space into separate car spaces, indicated by single broken white lines.
In this parking bay, loading spaces are marked with one broken white line from either end or inside a space that the car would otherwise accommodate (this may be a bit more than that)
