Glasgow pavement parking ban comes into force

Streets will be assessed to check if other parking measures are appropriate before an exemption is considered.

Glasgow City Council has produced a map, external, showing where there is no exemption and where further assessment is needed.

To be in breach of the rules a vehicle would have one or more of its wheels touching the pavement.

Enforcement will also be taken against vehicles that are double parked or parked next to dropped kerbs.

The Scottish government passed a law in 2021, external, that gave local authorities the power to stop pavement parking.

The legislation received ministerial approval in December 2023 which meant all councils could enforce the ban.

Highland Council began enforcing its ban last February.

Glasgow City Council said IT issues had delayed the roll-out of its ban.

More than 200 drivers were fined for violating the rules in Edinburgh a week after they came into force.
