🚗 **Attention Blue Badge Holders in Wales!** 🚗
Heads up! While a Blue Badge offers fantastic parking perks, there are 14 spots in Wales where you can’t park at any time, or you’ll risk a fine. Make sure you’re in the know to avoid any surprises!
🔹 **Where NOT to Park:**
1. 🚫 Areas with loading/unloading bans (look for yellow kerb marks).
2. 🚫 Spaces for specific users like resident or loading bays (check local rules).
3. 🚫 Pedestrian zones and crossings (zig-zag lines included).
4. 🚫 Clearways and bus stop clearways during active hours.
5. 🚫 Urban clearways – you can only pick up or drop off.
6. 🚫 ‘Keep clear’ road markings and school areas during restricted times.
7. 🚫 Lanes for buses, trams, or cycles.
8. 🚫 Across roads with double white lines.
9. 🚫 Suspended or temporarily restricted parking areas (watch for cones).
10. 🚫 Across dropped kerbs, H-bar markings or not.
🔹 **Top Tips for Using Your Badge:**
– Always display your badge properly – photo down, number up!
– If you’re not getting out, don’t use your badge.
– A driver can use your badge to drop you off but must remove it if not parking.
– Stay within time limits where posted and don’t cause obstructions.
Remember, breaking the rules can have consequences, so park smart and stay safe. For more info, check the latest guidelines with your local authority. Let’s keep our roads accessible for everyone! 🚙💙
