Gosforth is first in region to get red lines
A Newcastle street will be the first in the region to be painted with double red lines. The City Council will introduce the red lines to Gosforth High Street.
The difference between red and yellow lines
On double red lines, you cannot stop at all unless you are a licensed taxi or a blue badge holder, then you can drop off. There is no parking.
Single red lines mean no stopping during the day and times shown on the upright sign.
On double yellow lines, you cannot stop and park. You can drop off. Blue badge holders can usually park for up to three hours.
On single yellow lines, you can park when restrictions are not in place. They are usually signposted. Blue badge holders can usually park for up to three hours at any time.
