An exemption order may be put in place if the pavement is wide enough to allow pavement parking, or for other reasons such as:
Emergency services and medical practitioners responding to an emergency, accident or their normal operation
Deliveries and collections that can't be done without the vehicle being parked on a pavement
Vehicles used for roadworks or removal of obstructions
Please note blue badge holders are not exempt from pavement parking rules.

- the pavement layout or character would allow for a width of 1.5 metres to remain unobstructed when any part of a vehicle is parked on it
- the layout or character of the carriageway associated with the pavement would obstruct an emergency vehicle, if a vehicle parked on the carriageway
