Bay reserved for loading and unloading

Loading bay – vehicles may stop only to load or unload goods. No parking or waiting is allowed. This sign is common in town centres and commercial streets. In the theory test it tests your knowledge of loading restrictions and the need to keep the bay clear for goods vehicles. Parking here when not loading can result in a PCN.
