Looing along the street in GSV there are other vehicles parked partly off-carriageway. So I suspect it is tolerated but not where there are yellow lines.

So why not a PCN for parking where restricted (yellow line) ? Because there are exemptions to yellow lines but only a very special exemption for off-carriageway parking, so the council are almost guaranteed to get their money.

Looks tempting to park 2-wheels up along there as some footway is paved differently and there's some history there but there is no footway parking marked there so this looks like a solid contravention.
