Their format and use are controlled by the DfT, and they are disseminated via TSRGD, Traffic Signs Manual and TfL’s Red Routes Signing Manual. Signage In most cases there will be an associated sign. Loading may also occur where there are no restrictions and it is safe to park. • Parking/loading signs should be located a minimum of 450mm from the bay edge and should not obstruct the pedestrian clear zone • The smallest allowable text size should be used to keep the size of the sign to a minimum Figure 185: Enforcement sign • Designers should orientate the signs as required by the Traffic Signs Manual • The colour of the backs of signs and any dedicated poles supporting them should be consistent with other street furniture, ie black or grey in accordance with the palette Additional information Legislation: Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002: Section 4 and Schedule 6 (Road markings) Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2015 Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1999 Department for Transport: Delivering the goods: Guidance on delivery restrictions, 2006 Inclusive mobility – A guide to best practice on access to pedestrian and transport infrastructure, 2002 Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 5: Road Markings Legislation: Highways Act 1980 Traffic Calming Act 1992 Transport for London: Kerbside loading guidance, 2009 Parking and loading legally, 2014

They have become particularly popular for business use in central London. This has increased pressure on ourselves and the boroughs to deliver more motorcycle parking facilities where they are most needed. Parking reviews along the TLRN, including side roads adjoining the main road, will be used to assess demand and determine motorcycle parking allocations. Figure 186: Motorcycle parking bay enforced through road markings Location Parking facilities for motorcycles are generally provided on the carriageway, within designated bays. Motorcycle parking should be placed: • As close as possible to trip attractors, such as shops, town centres and transport interchanges • Where passive surveillance can take place • Away from any overhanging trees and vegetation • Away from pedestrian crossings where parked motorcycles may cause visibility problems for wheelchair users • Where they can be well-lit Design Motorcycle parking bays are marked with 100mmwide broken white lines on the carriageway in accordance with the TSRGD and supported by means of a Traffic Regulation Order. Parking bays should be sufficiently large to accommodate a number of motorcycles and allow adequate manoeuvring space. A typical motorcycle parking space width is 1500mm. Motorcycle parking facilities should offer: • A well-drained, well-maintained site • Shallow crossfalls • Non-slip carriageway surfaces • An especially rigid surface which does not deform in warm weather and resists point loadings from the stands attached to motorcycles • Discrete anchor points for securing motorcycles where a need has been demonstrated Secure motorcycle parking facilities Secure motorcycle parking facilities should not be provided unless survey data from the Metropolitan Police Service, illumination levels or other information suggests there is a need for a secure amenity.
