Hundreds of Glasgow streets are set to face a pavement parking ban at the end of next month but there are still many roads where it has not been decided yet.

Fixed penalty notices are due to be issued by wardens come the end of September when systems are in place to roll out the new parking rules for those streets where they are applicable.

And now Glasgow City Council has launched an interactive map to help residents find out if your road has a restriction on pavement parking or whether it is currently still exempt.

Those living on roads coloured magenta face getting a ticket if they park on the pavement, double park or leave their car at a dropped kerb.

The pavement parking restrictions are not operational on roads coloured green yet on the map but ongoing assessment is taking place to see if the rule will apply to them in the future.

  The roads subject to parking tickets (coloured magenta) are at least 7.5 metres wide to allow a fire engine to pass when cars are on both sides of the road or are in areas already controlled by parking restrictions.

A council official told Tuesday’s environment and liveable neighbourhoods city policy committee about the parking rules “interactive map, which shows which streets are subject to parking enforcement.

She said: “Anything highlighted magenta on that map would not be considered for an exemption.

“Anything highlighted green needs further assessment for us to determine the most appropriate course of action.”

The official told councillors street assessments are expected to be completed by the end of the year and the interactive map will be updated.

The meeting heard the Linn ward is the first area of the city, which has  been assessed and recommendations will be put forward.

A council report said: “enforcement of pavement parking will introduced on a phased basis where an assessment has been completed.”

It added: ” The parking availability surveys and road assessments for all other wards will now be programmed to begin once the school holidays finish using voluntary internal resources and it is hoped the parking availability surveys and assessment proformas will be complete by the end of 2024. Thereafter, during the last quarter of this financial year, we will review and publish the results and put forward any associated recommendations.”
