Used in conjunction with figure 10-5 figure 10-4. All upright signs should face oncoming traffic as drivers need to be able to read them without stopping, otherwise they might be committing an offence. Signs need to be sufficiently frequent for drivers to be clear what restriction applies.

Where a parking or loading bay is provided, this will be similar to diagram 1028.4 in the Regulations, but is coloured either white or red according to the times of operation. If the bay is available at all times during red route control it is coloured white. If the bay operates for only part of the day and there are times, such as peak hours, when stopping in the bay is prohibited, it is coloured red. It is not necessary, in this instance, to provide a continuous single red line alongside the kerb within the bay as the colour of the bay denotes that there are certain times when stopping is prohibited. This is different from a bay with a peak—hour prohibition of waiting where the yellow line continues through the bay (see section 6). The two types of bay marking are shown in figures 10-5 and 10-6.

Examples of upright signs for parking and loading bays are shown in figures 10-7 to 10.9|10-9 and generally comprise three panels. The uppermost is a header panel for the red route. The middle panel gives the times of operation of the red route. The lower panel gives details of the permitted parking or loading. The design of the sign is similar to diagram 639.1B in the Regulations, but differs in one Figure 10-8 No stopping on red route during the hours shown in the middle panel except disabled badge holders
