Motorhome parking along Aberystwyth promenade

[chipvan]

Wanted an up to date with regard to when the overnight parking ban will start at Aberystwyth prom, so called Ceredigion Council today who said the signs are going up on the 23rd March.

All encampments will be deemed obstructions and therefore ‘not allowed’. - so all lorry drivers staying in laybyes will be moved on?

NO. You need to get CAMPING (encampments) and PARKING in perspective.

You can park in a layby, but you cannot put anything outside or on the vehicle that is not there when it is running on the road. If you stay longer than is necessary, that can be classed as camping.

This is a fine definition in this country, as it has not legally been defined. You are recommended in the Highway Code to take a break and sleep if you are feeling tired.

Lorry drivers are required by law to take breaks a set intervals. It is argued that private motorists are not governed by these strict limits so can find an alternative rest area. We know how hard it is to find a suitable area to park a vehicle over 2.1m x 2.5m x 5m in many places due to height barriers and other restrictions never mind vehicles the size of a waggon, motorhome or RV Coach.

The position of the parked vehicle can also be seen as an obstruction to other traffic and users of the layby. I am not aware of anyone being moved on if they state they are too tired to drive.

Well I am not surprised and some from here have helped we have seen the stickers in vans parked up in front of peoples houses for days on end and even up on levelling ramps in the road ?

There`s one of them W in a van by my house and it`s up on ramps as well.

The cheeky bugger is even pinching electric from my garage, been there years :wacko:
