 (iv) The prohibition of waiting must apply uniformly throughout every road in the zone.

'''637.2 Prohibition of waiting and loading in a pedestrian zone (Alternative types)'''

The time periods may be varied. The panels indicating the prohibition of loading may be varied to diagram 638

In many cases, not all the conditions required for dispensing with yellow lines will be met. For example, a road might be fully paved, but have the appearance of comprising a separate carriageway and footway. Another situation is where the pedestrian zone does not operate for 24 hours and during the times the road is open to all traffic a prohibition of waiting is required. Depending on the particular circumstances, it might still be desirable and practicable to dispense with yellow lines as in restricted zones (see section 13). Where this is the case, the Department, if in agreement, will issue a special direction to a traffic authority to permit this.

Where a prohibition of loading is required, this may be indicated by the two-panel version of diagram 637.2, provided the zone entry signs are to either diagram 618.3 or 618.3A. The entry signs do not indicate the loading prohibition as they do the prohibition of waiting; they show only the periods when access for loading is permitted. Yellow kerb marks to diagram 1019 or 1020.1 need not be used within the zone where the conditions described in para 11.14, but applying to a loading ban, are met (direction 24(4)). Where access to the zone is permitted at certain times for the purposes of loading, the times shown on the lower panel of the sign to diagram 637.2 should be consistent with those shown on the centre panel of the entry sign to diagram 618.3; examples are shown in figure 11-2. If the entry sign is a variable message sign to
