Motorists must be careful when choosing where to park. The Highway Code says there are places where stopping is not allowed.

Finding a place to park in Britain can be hard. There is a lot of traffic and not many parking spaces.

The RAC has a list of places where parking is not allowed in the UK. This list is based on the Highway Code.

The RAC says the best place to park is in a parking bay. These bays have a blue sign with a white 'P' on them.

It's not always possible to find a car park.

Some parking bays are free, but others you have to pay for. Some have rules about what cars can park there.

Parking outside a car park can be confusing if you don't know the rules. There are places where you can and can't park.

Motorists should avoid clearways, loading bays, and reserved parking spots.

You can park outside someone's house, but not if you block the driveway. You should not park on the pavement in London and Scotland.

The Highway Code is not a law, but many of its rules are backed by laws.

The Highway Code says you must not stop or park in certain places, except when you have to because of traffic.

You must not stop or park on a road with double white lines in the middle, except to drop off or pick up people.

The RAC says the Highway Code is not a law, but breaking its rules can get you in trouble.
