Question

Can royal mail vehicles park on double yellow lines and zig zag lines?

Answer 1

Yes of course they can. The question is whether or not it is legal or not?

Royal mail vehicles, or more importantly, the drivers of the same,  are subject to the same laws of the road as everybody else.Being "Royal" doesn't give them any right to abuse them.

Answer 2

No!

Answer 3

zig zags no!

double yellows yes but only to deliver mail as that counts as loading/unloading

Answer 4

no, but as royal mail are c**p they do what they want,

Answer 5

They are subject to the same rules as other road users.

Answer 6

No just emergency vehicles and mothers with people carriers it would seem.

Answer 7

Royal mail vans can park on double yellow lines.  Infact any vehicle can park on double yellow lines if they are loading/unloading.  I believe if they park on zig zag lines they can get points and a fine.

Answer 8

Commercial vehicles under certain circumstances can stop for a short period on double yellow lines for purpose of loading and unloading but, the driver must observe the posted signs and the yellow lines painted on the kerb which dictate if he can stop and at what times he can stop.

Stopping on zig zag lines is absolutely forbidden.

Answer 9

No, Nada, Never................................

Answer 10

lol

Answer 11

No. They can never park in those areas

Answer 12

no just emergency vehicles

Answer 13

Double yellow lines mean 'No Waiting' therefore anyone can stop to set down or pick up but they cannot wait there, anyone breaking the rule may find themselves with a parking fine usually about £60

Zig Zag lines however carry a much heavier penalty and there is absolutely 'NO STOPPING' breaking this rule would render the offender 3 penalty points on their licence plus a monetary fine and it doesn't matter if they are Royal Mail or not these rules (Road traffic law) applies to all.
