If yellow parking restriction lines are in poor condition, bits missing etc they are not normally enforceable, there ar now exceptions however as it is possible to have restricted parking with just signs (most common in conservation areas) or just the lines.

In the UK, we have yellow lines to indicate waiting restrictions, these are painted at the side of the road.
The lines in the middle are white.
I assume as this question is in the UK Yahoo Answers section that the question relates to UK practice.
It doesn't matter what the lines are like.
The actual restiction is on the notice on the pole or wall
Double yellow means no waiting at any time, but you may be allowed to load/unload and to wait while passengers board or alight unless there are loading restrictions in place as well.

A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD!.
NO YOU CAN NOT PARK THERE! EVEN IF IT IS FADED, YOU APPARENTLY STILL KNOW IT IS A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE.

Since you know it is a double yellow line, whether it is faded or not, NO. Use "common sense". That is what a judge will tell you just before he fines you with additional court costs.

I am not so sure that the double yellow line is the safest place to park your car. Wouldn't your car get involved in a crash by your car being parked in the middle of the street?

you can park on a yellow line if the lines havent got a verticle line on the end of them to show where they stop.
You may get a ticket but it wouldnt be accepted in court and you wouldnt have to pay

no, another perfect example is that you cannot park within 15 feet of fire hydrant even if the curb is not painted at all. you still need to abide by the laws even if the paint is not perfect.

No ... unless you are picking up or setting down passengers, or loading / unloading.
To qualify for the latter, you must be delivering or collecting something difficult to carry. A takeaway or dry-cleaning is not "loading" ... delivering wicker chairs, however, can be
