Red route

Red route

In the UK, red routes are major roads in urban areas, on which stopping (even to load or unload a vehicle) is prohibited or only allowed during very restricted periods at times displayed on nearby signs. The intention is to enhance the flow of commuter traffic. The routes are marked with continuous red lines painted along the road adjacent to the kerb.

In London they are policed by "Red Route Patrols" and managed by London Streets, an arm of Transport for London.

*Double red lines - Stopping is not permitted at any time (normally at important junctions, or at bus stops)
*Single red lines - Stopping is not permitted except at the times indicated by the signs.
*Red route clearway - Stopping is only permitted in lay-bys (red lines are only marked at junctions)
