Yes, and a little bit more:

In London the double and single red lines used on Red Routes indicate that stopping to park, load/unload or to board and alight from a vehicle
(except for a licensed taxi or if you hold a Blue Badge) is prohibited.

So many customs !

Boston has some too, and if your family hasn't lived there for at least 3 generations, you're still a newcomer.

Here's another one from Sundae's West Yorkshire post... what do the zagged white lines mean ?

There are additional rules at pedestrian crossings (crosswalks), popularly known as Zebra Crossings because of the black and white striped surface.

It is forbidden to stop, other than to give way to pedestrians, or pass another vehicle, in between the zig-zag lines.

Police targeting illegal and dangerous parking on zebra crossing zig-zags

DRIVERS who park illegally and dangerously in Welwyn village are also being targeted by the police.
Pc Ben Satchfield is taking to task delivery drivers and shoppers who leave their cars on the zig-zag lines by the zebra crossing in High Street.

Over the past 18 months, more than 30 motorists have been caught flouting the restrictions.

Most were issued with a £60 fine and three penalty points. Some elected to go to court, but all were found guilty and had to pay the fine, as well as court costs up to £635.

Pc Satchfield said: “This is a neighbourhood priority for my area as it is an issue repeatedly raised.

“The controlled area is to each side of a pedestrian or pelican crossing and vehicles cannot stop or park there. They allow for the safety of pedestrians using the crossing.”

Priorities are priorities - pelicans are Number One !
