Converting single yellow lines to double yellow lines

Some lengths of single yellow lines in Mayfair, the West End and South Fitzrovia and South Marylebone are to be converted to double yellow lines, where there should be no stopping or waiting 'at any time'. This is to make it easier for emergency vehicles to access streets, to avoid disruption to pedestrians and to ease congestion in this area. Find out more.

The proposals

On 1st August 2011, Westminster's Cabinet formally approved a number of new parking measures developed by council officers as a result of a thorough and comprehensive review of parking provision in the city.

The new measures address a number of complex issues to ensure the city’s busiest streets and roads are able to accommodate the sheer amount of traffic driving through, and include:

• managing the traffic demands of the West End
• improving the availability of resident and visitor parking
• improving loading and waiting facilities 

• a review of green transportation initiatives, such as electric charging point bays and car club provision.
