Vehicles should not park next to a dropped kerb. This could be a driveway, cycle lane or to help people cross the road. If you park in front of a dropped kerb, you may get a parking fine, also known as a penalty charge notice (PCN).
Your family and visitors to your property can park in front of the dropped kerb outside your property with your permission.
They still need a visitor permit, if parking in a controlled parking zone (CPZ).
If the dropped kerb is shared with a neighbour, then they cannot park there.
If you live within a CPZ and have a parking bay outside your property and a white line marking the dropped kerb, any vehicle can park in front of your dropped kerb.
They just need to have a permit to park during the CPZ hours.
