Thank you for your online query about parking restrictions along Holloway Road. I appreciate the time you have taken to write to us. Please accept my apologies for the delay in reply. Further to your query, I sent your questions to the relevant area team. They've confirmed, Whilst the bus lane is now 24/7 the underlying red route controls are unaffected. Therefore vehicles are still permitted to stop on single red lines during the time denoted on the relevant signage despite the bus lane being operational at all times. Please note, vehicles are not allowed to stop at any time on double red lines. I trust this information has been helpful to you. Thanks again for contacting us. If there is anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we'll be happy to help you.
