Can you block a driveway without a dropped kerb?

Article excerpt

A dispute in a Bristol neighborhood has reignited questions about driveway parking rights and dropped kerbs. Under UK law, you cannot legally park on a pavement, even on your own driveway, unless you have a dropped kerb, a lowered section of curb that connects your drive to the road. Without one, vehicles parked on the pavement block pedestrians, wheelchairs, and prams. The rules exist to protect public access, but enforcement varies by council and many residents remain unaware of the requirement. This recent conflict highlights how suburban parking pressures clash with pedestrian safety regulations.
