I've tried to find something written formally on the rules with double yellows and have managed to find some posts on other forums suggesting that parking on the verge side of double yellow lines also means I committed the offence but am struggling for anything more formal
It'll ne buried somewhere in the Road Traffic Act that established yellow lines, so some decades ago. Hopefully somebody will know, but the key thing is that yellow lines apply to a road, which is not just the carriageway, but all of the road, incl verges and footways. There have been cases at the High Court on this.
