Can I park on School Keep Clear markings outside school hours in Northern Ireland?

Only some School Keep Clear markings are legally enforceable, but drivers should avoid parking on them even outside the signed hours.

Where upright signs make the marking mandatory, no stopping applies during the displayed times and there is no loading or Blue Badge exemption. Advisory markings should still be kept clear for visibility and child safety.

For parking questions, the exact sign, road marking, kerb marking and hours of operation control the answer at the location. Photograph the signs and your vehicle position if there is any dispute, because a nearby restriction or controlled zone can change what would otherwise be allowed. For "Can I park on School Keep Clear markings outside school hours in Northern Ireland?", those details are especially important because the same road can have different rules by bay, side, time or vehicle class.
