Types of H markings

Below are examples of the different types of H marking which may apply to you depending on your circumstances.

A H marking is painted on the road and will cover the extent of your dropped kerb from the top of each dropper (slopping kerb).

 

  

Where old style kerbs are present, radius or straight without the slopping kerb, it will be painted across your dropped kerb and 900mm maximum each side.

 

  

If your dropped kerb is shared with a neighbouring property, only the property submitting the application will be marked out, it will be painted within property boundary with a tab.

 

 

If your dropped kerb extends over your boundary line to the neighbouring property, it will be marked to the top of the dropper (slopping kerb) to a maximum of 900mm over your boundary.

 

 

If your dropped kerb extends over the boundary line to a neighbouring property, more than 900mm across the boundary line, it will only be marked up to the bottom of the dropper.

 

 

If there are no droppers, the H marking will be marked covering just the access to your driveway, hard standing area, or garage.  If it is a narrow driveway, the minimum width to meet the criteria is 2.4 metres; it will be painted to a width up to 4.8 metres within your property boundary
