    I went on that there google and the highway code covers it well. The signage refers to bays within a red route only. So outside that bay no stopping. WIthin that bay 1 hour between 7am and 7pm so I would imagine any time between 7pm and 7am.

    You can park completely free from Sat 7pm until Mon 06:59am.

    In theory you could park at 6pm on Sat as the 1hour covers up until 7pm.

    Rest of the time its 1 hour. But you could go away for 2 hours and park for 1 hour. Go away for 2 hours and come back and park for 1 hour.

    That's wrong. You can park any day of the week from 7pm until 7am and all day sunday

    Yes you can.

    Given the varied answers you'll get here please check some official websites that will confirm the details.

    Wow lots of people needing to refresh the highway code!

    Red route means no stopping at any time

    But the board is indicating that you can stop for 1hr during the times and days indicated. After that you can't stop at all.

    Personally not sure if you can park on a Sunday. As they normally state no stopping Monday - Saturday and this board doesn't really clarify that

    To be fair it seems to be a thing introduced and used by London well within the lifetime of many drivers. I don't think I've ever seen one and it seems like a very poorly designed bit of signage given that it's very unlike a normal <colour> route and seems to be a minor variation on a clearway.

    as far as i am aware, you are not allowed to park on a red route, which is confirmed by the quote below.

    however, within the time indicated on the board, you are allowed to park there for no more than one hour and you can not return during that day. i think it is to allow drop off for businesses on the main road, like deliveries for the business. so no, you can't park after 7pm.

    "Red route clearway - don't stop

    Stopping is only permitted in marked bays. You must not stop or park your vehicle on this road. Vehicles are not allowed to stop at any time on our red route clearways (similar to urban clearways)."

    Maybe it's time to do some highway codes refresher courses, this app is pretty good (not free, but only a fiver):

    As it's a red route, my understanding of the sign would be parking only between those hours. After those hours or on Sunday, it becomes a normal red route, where you can't stop/park.
