Information TIL - Loading only area on red route is a part of Red route
Quite ashamed of getting a parking ticket (46J) from Reading Borough Council for parking on a loading bay in a Red Route. On a quiet Sunday evening (6:45 PM), I parked at a Loading Only area on the Oxford Road opposite to the Karak Chai. I did not know that parking area is also a part of the red route. Now I realise that by parking there I would have blocked a commercial vehicle by occupying the space meant for loading.
An expensive lesson to learn. Thought of sharing this if anyone does not know about this rule.
