There are various types of yellow and white lines that are marked on the road or edge of the pavement/kerb. These indicate waiting restrictions or help road users by giving different types of information on lane use and direction.

• Yellow and white lines

We install signs on the highways to regulate traffic and to provide warnings to drivers of hazards ahead. The signs that may be used on the public highway are controlled by Government regulations, covering the designs of the signs, where they can be used and whether they must be illuminated.

We have the policy of removing unauthorised signs or other marks on the highway and those affixed to items of street furniture.

We are responsible for ensuring that street name plates are provided and fitted in suitable positions. In the case of a new development however, the developer is responsible for the erection of name plates to our specification.

We undertake on-street parking enforcement of Traffic Regulation Orders. The police continue to enforce obstructive parking and moving traffic offences.

Parking restrictions require a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and are installed to improve road safety and reduce congestion. You can see current Traffic Regulation Orders on our interactive map.
