Q1: Only after 6.30pm and on Sundays, or any time with a Blue Badge. You may load or unload heavy goods at any time but you must be observed to be loading (ie not running into a shop for a paper!).
Q2: Yes, but it must be a visitor’s permit for S3.
Q3: Yes, but not before then. You can’t load during rush hour and you can’t stop or park at all during the day on weekdays or on Saturdays from 8am to 1.30pm.
Q4: Yes, you can drive in this lane any time on the weekend, as well as before 8am, between 9.15am and 4.30pm, and after 6pm on weekdays.
