We know it can be frustrating to see police cars on double yellows, but please be assured it’s not about convenience – it’s about making sure officers can respond quickly if they’re needed. Your feedback helps us explain why these exemptions exist, so thank you for starting the conversation 👏

Hi 👋 police vehicles can stop on double yellows if needed. Even when officers are just grabbing food, it means they can keep the car close by and leave straight away if an emergency comes in 🚓⚡ Officers always consider the risks of blocking traffic and will only park there if it’s safe to do so ✅

Hiya 👋 yes, parking on double yellow lines is an offence. The only exceptions are things like loading/unloading (where signs allow) or if you’ve got a valid Blue Badge and follow the rules. Parking on them is usually enforced by the council rather than the police 🚗❌

Hi Ian, while this is a gardening tool, carrying any bladed article in public without a clear lawful reason can be an offence under the Criminal Justice Act 1988. Tools should only be carried when travelling directly to and from where they are used and stored in secure containers.
