Vehicles may be parked partially on the verge or footway sign

What it means

This sign gives permission to park with two wheels up on the verge or footway, here and nowhere else. You will see it on narrow residential streets where a fully parked car would block the lane. Park square to the kerb and leave enough width for a pram or a wheelchair to get past.

Highway Code Rule 244 — read it on GOV.UK
