MOTORISTS who park on zig-zag lines or block pedestrian crossings
-
MOTORISTS who park on zigzag lines or block pedestrian crossings in a busy Mid Devon town risk more than just dirty looks - they could face fines and points on their licence.
Devon and Cornwall Police have issued a warning to drivers after receiving reports of dangerous and illegal parking along Crediton High Street.
Offences include vehicles left on zigzags - typically found near pedestrian crossings — as well as those obstructing drop kerbs and making it hazardous for people on foot to navigate the area.
