The Highway Code states you should not stop or park near a school entrance, at or near a bus or tram stop or a taxi rank, or in front of an entrance to a property.
While many drivers do so, you could receive a £100 fine if you're spotted.
The January Highway Code changes were designed to make the roads safer for more vulnerable road users including pedestrians and cyclists.
This includes not stopping or parking where a kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles or in an area where it would obstruct cyclists’ use of cycle facilities.
However, the Code states that drivers can temporarily stop in these places if they are forced to due to stationary traffic.
Not all Highway Codes are legally binding and there is a difference between “must not” and “do not”.
Rule 243 comes under the latter and stipulates people should not stop unless forced to do so by stationary traffic.
