The red lines apply to the carriageway, pavement and verge. In London the double and single red lines used on Red Routes indicate that stopping to park, load/unload or to board and alight from a vehicle (except for a licensed taxi or if you hold a Blue Badge) is prohibited.

Red lines are used on some roads instead of yellow lines. Waiting is limited to the duration specified during the days and times shown Red Route stopping controls White bay markings and upright signs (see below) indicate where parking is allowed. If no days are shown on the signs, the restrictions are in force every day including Sundays and Bank Holidays. The times at which the restrictions apply for other road markings are shown on nearby plates or on entry signs to controlled parking zones. Double yellow lines mean no waiting at any time, unless there are signs that specifically indicate seasonal restrictions.

You may stop to load or unload (unless there are also loading restrictions as described below) or while passengers board or alight. Waiting restrictions indicated by yellow lines apply to the carriageway, pavement and verge.
