NI Parking Rules

Can I park on a pavement next to an urban clearway in Northern Ireland?

No. nidirect states that footway parking is not permitted along urban clearways.

Footway parking alongside an urban clearway can be enforced even when the vehicle is not sitting directly in the live traffic lane.

Clearway signs and road markings should be treated seriously because restrictions may also affect stopping, loading and Blue Badge use.
