Is it illegal to park on a speed bump?
I would like some information regarding a situation. There is a vehicle which keeps parking outside my house on the pavement and on the edge of a speed bump. I wanted to know, is it not illegal to park on a speed bump. Is there a recommended distance for parking near a speed bump or on the pavement.
Thank you for your assistance.
Answer:
You are not allowed to park …
- where you would obscure a road traffic sign (a road-surface marking is also a road sign)
- where the vehicle is encroaching on a sidewalk (i.e. on or partially on a sidewalk)
- in any other place where the stopping of a vehicle would or would be likely to constitute a danger or an obstruction to other traffic.
These are the no-parking places in reference to the question below. There are also other places where a vehicle may not be parked.
Reference: National Road Traffic Act, Regulation 305
