Answer

Waiting is prohibited at all times
According to the UK Highway Code, double yellow lines painted along the edge of the carriageway mean that waiting is prohibited at all times, every day of the week, unless upright signs indicate seasonal variations.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the specific road marking and its location on the carriageway.
The markings are continuous double yellow lines running along the kerb or road edge.
Road edge lines in yellow communicate waiting and parking regulations under the UK Highway Code.
2
Apply the statutory rule for double yellow road markings.
Double yellow lines mean waiting restrictions apply at all times, without the mandatory requirement for accompanying upright time plates unless seasonal.
Single yellow lines apply during specified operational hours, whereas double yellow lines enforce an all-day, every-day prohibition.
