Red routes
Double Red Lines
In plain English
No stopping at any time — stricter than double yellow lines, applies 24/7.
What it means
Double red lines (mainly in London) mean no stopping at any time for any reason, including picking up or setting down passengers. Blue Badge holders may stop to pick up or set down a disabled person but must not park. This is stricter than a double yellow line — not even a brief passenger stop is permitted for regular vehicles.
