       Enforcing Signs Without Lines

       Apologies if this is not the place for a topic that is in
       regards to parking enforcement, but does not relate to a
       specific case.  There didn't seem to be a more appropriate
       place.
       A new sign has gone up at one of the few places still remaining
       to park nearby to me.  There is a sign at the start of the area
       (a public cul-de-sac) stating "resident parking only beyond this
       sign".  However there are no lines.
       It was my understanding that enforcement required both signs and
       lines, in fact back when I used to keep up on this I am sure it
       was so.  Has there been a change in legislation that allows
       enforcement of resident permit areas with signs but no lines?
       Thanks

       Sorry to have to tell you, but it's all kosher. Regulations
       allow councils to create these sort of zones, with no need to
       paint any lines, the signs are sufficient, although they have a
       duty to ensure the restriction is conveyed adequately. So large
       zones really need repeater signs inside the zone, but it's not
       mandatory.

       See 'Permit Parking Area' in the Definitions:
  HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/schedule/1/made
       You can have markings within such a zone, but only for different
       users or uses e.g. disabled, loading etc.

       They are perhaps the most insidious restriction, relying on a
       driver seeing a relatively small entry sign and requiring no
       lines that may give a warning to the inattentive motorist
