When parking signs allow itThis was the right answer

Check for signs expressly permitting pavement parking and obey their conditions and any other restriction. Rule 244 prohibits pavement parking in London or Scotland, with limited exceptions; elsewhere it advises against it unless signs permit it. Never assume that stopping outside a shop, loading or collecting a passenger automatically permits parking on a pavement.
