  Scenario
  
  1 way road.
  
  2 lanes.
  
  Left hand side of the road: no markings of any sort.
  
  Righ hand side of the road : double yellow lines.
  
  Middle of road: dotted line separating the 2 lanes.
  
  Question
  
  Is it legal to park on the left hand side of the road. Meaning, will I get fined?
  
  P.S many owners park their cars there. I just wanna make sure. Please don't ask me to refer to my basic or advance theory, cos I have no idea where they are now.
  
  Many thanks in advance!

  if there is a continuous white line in the middle, then its an offence.

  Hi all, thanks for the replies.
  
  There is no white centre line in the middle. Only white dotted lines to separate the 2 lanes. Traffic is one way.
  
  So can I confirm that its therefore legal to park?

  The location of the road is really not important. I've described the scenario exactly as it is. It'll be great if you can just answer accordingly.
  
  Such roads are actually not uncommon. A lot of roads in private housing estates are like that. Trust me, it's not unrare.
  
  I know about the middle white line law. It's definitely illegal to park if the middle line is a solid white one. But this one is dotted.
  
  As for the parking in designated lots, hmmm...it's true that you should park in lots (if there were), but not having a lot designated does not mean its illegal to park there. It varies depending on the situation. Regular drivers should know what I'm talking about.

  If middle is dotted white line and there is no double yellow lines on the side, you can park your car.
  
  From your description, you can't park on the right(which has double yellow lines) but you can park on the left.

  THis term can be very wide.

  No lines at the side of the road plus no continous white line means can park at the side liao.
  
  As long as don't park in front of other people's gate can liao.
