Prohibition of Parking on Pavements Bill
Omit from section 1(1)(b) "bicycles and"; omit "mechanically propelled vehicle" and replace such wording with "motorised vehicle."
In Section 3, amend to read the following:
"(1) Any person guilty of an offence under section 2 shall be liable to a fixed penalty notice under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
(2) Upon nonpayment of the fixed penalty notice under subsection (1) within a period of 28 days following its issuance, such person is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding Level Three on the standard scale for England and Wales.
(3) Upon second or subsequent conviction for an offence under subsection (2) of this section, such person is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding Level Four on the standard scale for England and Wales."
A01 and A02 were submitted by /u/accounttomakemaps.
Add into section 2 between “footpath” and “within”; “adjacent to any road or public thoroughfare narrower than 8000mm”
A03 was submitted by /u/m_horses.
Insert after Section 4 (3)
(4) A person shall not be convicted of an offence under this Act if they can sufficiently prove they are a resident in a property, or employed at a property within 200 metres of their parked car.
(5) A person shall not be convicted of an offence under this Act if they can sufficiently prove that they are temporarily visiting a property within 200 metres of their parked car.
EN: many off-street residential parking requires pavement parking and it is unreasonable to expect councils to provide alternatives or residents to seek out alternatives in such a short space of time
A04 was submitted by /u/model-ceasar.
Add new subsection between 4(2) and 4(3) as follows and renumber as appropriate
(3) Local authorities may grant permanent exemptions for locations where parking on pavements is deemed necessary or unavoidable or where the prohibition of parking on pavements would not be conducive to the public good.
Add a new subsection to section 4 as follows:
(x) A person shall not be convicted of an offence under this section with respect to a vehicle if they hold a badge issued under section 21 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970.
EN: adds a blue badge exemption
A05 and A06 were submitted by /u/Faelif.
