Rules Of The Road
In a congested city like London, it is understandable that there have to be restrictions on how domestic skip hire can be used in relation to the road network. While traffic is often travelling at a slow pace in any regard, anything which could act as a hindrance to traffic flow needs to be regulated with care. People who drive regularly in London and other road users will probably appreciate how vital it is to keep traffic moving. It would therefore be a dereliction of duty by the relevant authorities to permit citizens to place their skip hire anywhere they wanted.
If there is nowhere else available, you may well wish to situate your skip hire on the road. However, important rules have to be adhered to if this activity is going to be considered to be acceptable. Firstly, the skip cannot be located within a 15 metre distance from a junction for safety reasons. Secondly, it cannot be placed in such a way as to block the access route to a neighbour’s property. Thirdly, it has to be positioned in line with the roadside (parallel to the curb) so as not to cause unnecessary obstruction. Fourthly, it must be placed as close to the edge of the road as is feasible.
Some of these regulations may appear to some to be a little on the fussy side, but the next time they are stuck in traffic they might consider whether causing more blockages in the traffic flow would be wise.
