Parking concession becomes law

During recent years, motorists in Campbeltown have been afforded the concession of being allowed to park their vehicles during the hours of darkness without displaying lights, but since April 30, 1972, these local concessions have become law, provided certain conditions are complied with.

The exemptions apply only to goods vehicles under 30 cwts, motorcars adapted to carry not more than seven passengers and motorcycles, and allows parking without lights on roads which have a speed limit of 30 mph or less, provided the vehicle is parked with its left or nearside as close as possible to the left hand edge of the road and not less than 15 yards from any road junction.

The police will be active during the hours of darkness to ensure that the conditions of the regulations are being complied with.
