Homeowners with driveways may face frustrations when blocked by other motorists. The Highway Code states that blocking a property entrance is prohibited (Rule 243). Parking on dropped kerbs in front of driveways can result in a ticket. It is legal to park outside a house as long as access is not obstructed. Parking violations can lead to fines, penalty points, licence disqualification, or even prison. Specific rules apply, such as not parking facing against traffic flow or too close to Blue Badge holders. Parking operates on a first-come-first-served basis. It’s important to be aware of reserved parking spots for certain users, such as Blue Badge holders or residents (Rule 241).
