I am not 100% sure but McDonalds that have a drive through have special

"No", because those are not *parking* spaces as was previously
discussed. (Um... not sure where, possibly in one of the threads linked
in the proposal.) OTOH *I* wouldn't be adverse to overloading it with
that meaning, but technically speaking such spaces are not *parking*
spaces, because you are not supposed to park in them. (Note the
difference between "parking", "standing" and "stopping". You are
supposed to *stop* in them, but not *park*.)
We also have loading bays where you can stop for a few minutes to
collect things you have bought and cannot carry to the car park, there
is no specific time limit here but you are expected to not be far away.
Again is that what this means.
That is explicitly "standing". Previous comments apply.
Again, the *intended* use is for *parking* spaces (park, go inside,
collect a to-go order, possibly *order* a to-go order and wait for it to
be made... but don't sit down and eat at the restaurant). However *I*
would not object to using it for any sort of parking/standing/stopping
space where you are expected to not be long (and the space is
specifically signed with something like "loading only") but there is not
a specific time limit. Others might object, however. (Probably on the
basis that this is not "parking", on which point they *are* technically
correct.)
