Not The Shortest Double Yellow Line In The UK,

but remarkably close,

coming in at just 21 inches long, (53.3 cm) motorists will be fined £50 or £70 if they park on the lines in Canterbury, Kent, it appears that the council employed workers to paint the lines as Canterbury City Council, which painted the lines, said they are crucial for separating different parking areas, Bob Pollard, council street enforcement manager, said. 'if a vehicle is parked over the yellow lines, the driver could incur one of two penalties, primarily not parking within the confines of a parking space or technically for parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours, the lines were placed to differentiate between the two different types of parking bay and avoid confusion',


but surely that is the point, if the lines are so short some one does not notice them the council as Bob Pollard quoted could fine the driver with 'one of two penalties' so the council can collect the fine from both sides of the line, way to go Canterbury City Council!
