Query on parking over dropped kerb
Received: 11 March 2026
Thank you for your response confirming that the pavement and dropped kerb outside 155 Colin Crescent, NW9 6ET is adopted highway maintainable at public expense.You also confirmed that the lowered footway outside the property is classified as a 'vehicle crossover' constructed to allow vehicles to cross the footway.Given that there is also a pedestrian alleyway immediately adjacent to the driveway crossover, I would be grateful if you could clarify how parking enforcement applies in this specific layout.In particular, could you please confirm the following:* Whether the dropped kerb serving the pedestrian alleyway is considered a separate dropped footway from the residential vehicle crossover serving the property.* Whether a vehicle parked only across the section of dropped kerb serving the residential vehicle crossover (outside the property boundary) would be subject to enforcement, noting that this is classified as a vehicle crossover.* Whether a vehicle parked across the section of dropped kerb directly serving the pedestrian alleyway entrance would be subject to enforcement under section 86 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.* Confirmation of the exact extent and boundaries of the authorised vehicle crossover outside 155 Colin Crescent, and whether it includes or excludes the area adjacent to the pedestrian alleyway.For clarity, could you also confirm the following:If a vehicle is parked adjacent to the dropped kerb outside 155 Colin Crescent but does not obstruct the entrance to the pedestrian alleyway itself, would this be considered a contravention liable to a Penalty Charge Notice?My intention is simply to ensure that vehicles are parked in compliance with the relevant regulations and to clearly understand how enforcement applies at this location.If available, I would also be grateful for any plan, drawing, or record showing the approved width and extent of the vehicle crossover relative to the alleyway entrance.
