Will I be able to park outside my home?

NO — The route will prevent any kind of stopping or parking outside your home.

 

I have been told I will have parking bay — is this not true?

NO - The council have promised many of you parking hays. But these will NOT be exclusive. They will be available to all passing traffic along the entire route. Therefore you have no guarantee that your parking bay will be empty to allow you to park. Parking hays are only planned for specific parts of the route…,not everyone will have bays outside their homes.

 

Can I park on the pavement as I have always done?

NO — You will no longer be allowed to park on the pavement.

 

What is the penalty for parking?

Cars stopping or parking on the red route will be clamped. Release fees can he around £100+ However  your car could be towed away, which will incur costs totalling several hundred pounds to retrieve your vehicle.

 

Where will my visitors park?

They will be subject to the same restrictions as everyone else. If no parking bay is free they will not be able to park.

 

What about deliveries to my home?

Our information tells us that deliveries will only be allowed at specific parts of the route. If your home is not in one of these areas, deliveries will be almost impossible,

 

I have a driveway — will this affect me?

YES if people do not observe the parking bay fully, your drive is likely to be blocked.

 

Will this route affect our homes?

YES — people in London where the red route is in force, have had their homes devalued by as much as 50%. If the red route were an acceptable feature for potential purchasers  it would be acceptable to us

 

What else may affect me on this red route?

We are now getting information that right hand turns will not be allowed. This will mean you travelling past your home to the next available turning point/traffic island in order to turn left onto your driveway.

 

We also believe That speeding limits will increase to a 50 mile speed zone. This is a danger to our children. We have seen enough deaths on these roads through speeding vehicles.

 

How do we stop these plans?
