Have you gone to your local highway authority, and found out if the area you were parked on was actually part of the road? I would take a picture, and say that you were confused as it didn't appear to actually form part of a pavement, and appeared to you to be part of the road.

it might also help you if you find out whether the signle yellow line is actually placed as a result of a TRO or not, since if it isn't that couldn't be used as a method of demarkation between road an pavement.

Also, post up the pcn, it may not be enforceable

tro = Traffic Regulation Order.

To enforce restrictions such s DYL, SYL, parking bays etc on roads the councils are required to have TRO's. These have to list all the relevant information - location, times of restrictions and so on.

If they fail to have this information, if it is incorrect or if the TRO is non-existent it would render any enforcement action invalid.

The councils are legally obliged to have all copies of the TRO's available to the public.

They may have something online or an e-mail address. Try the council offices as well.

If you phone up your council, they will be able to send you a copy / let you inspect it yourself.
