It's perfectly legal to cross the pavement where the pavement has a
dropped kerb. It's only illegal where there isn't a dropped kerb.
There's also a difference in law between parking and driving on the
pavement. It can be legal to drive on the pavement (eg, in order to
cross it via a dropped kerb) even where it isn't legal to park on it.
