Parking of Vehicles Marked "For Sale" along Public Roads

Leitrim County Council has warned that vehicles parked on public roads for the purpose of advertising them for sale may be removed under Section 71 of the Roads Act 1993. The notice applies to cars, vans, caravans and similar vehicles displayed for sale without lawful authority or the consent of the road authority.

The council specifically includes vehicles parked for sale on or along any public road in County Leitrim, including the N4 bypass road in Carrick-on-Shannon. Its notice says a person who places or retains a vehicle or other structure on a public road for advertising, selling goods or providing services without the required authority may be guilty of an offence.

Leitrim County Council says it has the power to remove a vehicle parked in this way. The registered owner may then be required to pay the reasonable cost of removing and storing it before the vehicle is returned.

The full official notice is available from Leitrim County Council through the source link below.
