As far as I can see there is absolutely no reason why motorists cannot park at the kerb edge anywhere between the point where the double yellow lines end (just west of the hospital entrance) and the clearway signs which are sited just after the lay by. It's questionable, but it could be argued that in parking on the Eastbound carriageway you could be causing an unnecessary obstruction of the "advisory" cycle lane.
