The offence of pavement parking is defined within the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 as ‘a motor vehicle is parked on a pavement if – (i) it is stationary, and (ii) one or more of its wheels (or part of them) is on any of the pavement’. The Act does of course go on to lay out exceptions such as for the emergency services whilst responding to emergencies whereas the Exemption Order Procedures that were discussed at the committee lay out the procedures that a local authority must follow if they wish to exempt an area of pavement from the National ban.
