When Can You Stop On An Urban Clearway TOYOTA Camry VII Saloon (_V5_) (09.2011 - ...)

In the UK, on an urban clearway, stopping or parking during the hours of operation (usually peak times such as 7:00-9:30 and 15:00-18:00) is generally prohibited except for the brief purpose of picking up or dropping off passengers, and even then only for as long as is reasonable without causing obstruction to traffic.

Key specifics for your 2012 Toyota Camry (vehicle type does not affect the rules):

During urban clearway operational hours:

You may only stop briefly to set down or pick up passengers.

You must not park, load/unload goods, ask for directions, or use your phone while stopped.

The stop must be quick and must not obstruct other traffic.

Outside urban clearway hours:

Normal parking and stopping rules apply, subject to any other local restrictions.

Emergency exceptions:

You may stop if your vehicle breaks down or in other emergencies, but you should move off the carriageway as soon as possible.

Signage:

Urban clearways are clearly signposted with times of operation, so always check the signs carefully before stopping.

Lay-bys and parking bays:

The restrictions do not apply if you are stopping in a designated lay-by or official parking bay adjacent to the clearway.

In summary, during peak hours on an urban clearway, you can only stop briefly to pick up or drop off passengers without causing obstruction. Parking, loading/unloading, or any other stopping is not allowed. Outside these times, normal rules apply.
