Safe and responsible parking
The Blue Badge is not a licence to park anywhere. If you
park where it would cause an obstruction or danger to
other road users you could be fined or receive a Penalty
Charge Notice or have your vehicle removed.
Do not park where it would endanger, inconvenience or obstruct
pedestrians or other road users. Examples of dangerous or
obstructive parking include the following, although there are
others:
• school entrances, bus stops, on a bend, or near the brow of a
hill or hump bridge
• parking opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction,
except in an authorised parking space
• where it would make the road narrow, such as by a traffic
island or roadworks
• where it would hold up traffic, such as in narrow stretches of
road or blocking vehicle entrances
• where emergency vehicles stop or go in and out, such as
hospital entrances
• where the kerb has been lowered or the road raised to help
wheelchair users
• on a pavement, unless signs permit it
