Question on Parking

Homebody SG

Will I get a ticket if I park by the side of a road that doesn't have any line (i.e. no yellow or white line or any kind), not blocking traffic for more than 2 hrs?

There's a multistorey carpark nearby but then I don't wanna use parking coupons.

Any advice?

no lines at the side of the road, but what you should look now is the line at the middle of the road.

single white line not allowed. can't remember about broken white lines.

Homebody SG

huh? single white line in the middle of the road???

The road i'm referring to is a 2-way road. If you are referring to a single white line partitioning the traffic, then yes, there is one. The place that I wanna park my car would allow traffic to go through still and this road is only a small but throughfare road.

Can park without getting a ticket?

No. Parking is only allowed at areas that are designated for parking, eg Carpark. Unless it is a private property you are talking about.

kopiosatu SG

no parking allowed even if there's space for other traffic to move. because of the single white line for the 2 way road.

actually last i checked there wasn't anythign stated about that, all they said was that certain conditions can't park, so the rest up to you to intepretate.

kopiosatu SG

the last i did the test, it did state that no parking allowed if it is a single white line in the centre.

so a reminder, just because you see not double yellow line, doesn't mean u can park. the line in the centre matters too.

hisoka SG

you need to read what i wrote again, i said if there were no indications the law is unclear.

i didn't say in the thread starter's situation he could park, if you would notice i was replying the post that said that only designated parking spots allows parking.

basically....2 way street you can't park....line or no line....one way...can park if no yellow line...

Parallel continuous white lines in centre of a two-way road: No crossing of lines and no parking at all times on both sides of the road.

Continuous white line in centre of a two-way road: No parking at all times on both sides of the road.

Continuous yellow line by the side of the road: No parking between 7 am and 7 pm on that side of the road.

Parallel continuous yellow lines by the side of the road: No parking at all times on that side of the road.

ok.

Geez... there's lots of cars parking along 2 sides of the road just outside ACJC these few days in the evening, including today, without coupons (7pm to 9:30pm). I am tempted to join them.

If the law is what you say, I better be a good girl and park in the multistorey carpark.

Thanks!

its not true only pte property allows parking by the road..if you notice some estate does haf a single white line on certain areas such as few meters before a turning or slopes..these are the restricted places within a pte estate

its also not true all 2 way roads cannot park cars regardless of lines..take pte estates for example..all 2 ways but as long as its not a main..usually there's no white line and that's when u can park

one grey area is..the theory books we used to study..dun think they mention if no lines but got one long stretch of kerb at the centre divider den how?? i believe, it follows the rule of a single white line

fyi, dun think its pte estate jus anyhow park nobody will summon u..becoz ppl will complain and the police will take the matter to hands and ask u remove ur car or issue a summon

You won't get a ticket. You'll get a summon if they smart arse happen to come lor.

By right so long as got white line diving the two way roda, better obey gov.
White dotted one is ok so long u dun obstruct traffic. Cool

mach10 SG

Time to sabo people? kekeke

hmm… how about if there is a slight grassy area next to the road and u go offroad and park there and not on the road is that ok?
