What do you think of double yellow lines?

Question

Do you think there is too many around?

Answer 1

It's not the double yellow lines I have a problem with, they are only in areas where there is absolutely no way you can park.

I think they need to be a little less strict about parking on single yellow lines though.

Answer 2

There sure are!  In London it can be an absolute nightmare trying to find a non-lined, non-permit space.

The Council in their 'wisdom' painted loads of double yellows near me as I live a short hop from a Tube station. It was amusing the next day to see all the commuters in their cars, hurtling about, looks of panic on their face deserately trying to find a parking space.

Answer 3

An excuse, so the slow drivers can drive more slower so impatient, fast drivers cannot overtake, but some really do.

Answer 4

The only ones I think shouldn't be around, are the ones on traffic wardens hats - if they weren't there you could park on their heads!!!

Answer 5

hate that so many picturesque villages high streets are ruined  by them, but in the big smoke, fair enough.  better than the red ones.

Answer 6

No - I think there are too many cars around.

Answer 7

No I don't.  There is a need for them so that traffic can flow easily.

Answer 8

There is a good reason for most of the double yellow lines to ease congestion and prevent double parking etc, I just wish so many people would stop ignoring them and think the highway code doesn't apply to them.
