PCN Cycle lane

[scousegeezer]

Can someone point me in the right direction plse. My wife has been issued with a parking ticket this afternoon, for parking in a cycle lane. No yellow lines or signs saying you cannot park. I just require someone to tell me where on the net I would check the order. This is for Shaw Street, Liverpool. Many thanks -

Were the cycle lane lines solid or dashed?

Do you mean the Traffic Regulation Order for that location? If so, not on the net - request a copy from the council.

What contravention code was used on the PCN?

Hi

Ive just taken a look on Google Street view and cannot see any parking restrictions. The cycle lane does not appear to be marked as being 'restricted' (i.e. marked in green ect) so unless this road is a clear way then I cannot see how the ticketr is enforceable. Can you post the PCN after deleting any personal details?

Thanks for the replies.

 

TDD,

The code on the PCN is not very clear- The writing is awful - it is something 01 - the first number is either 7,2 or 1. ITS that bad.

 

Sailor Sam,

I will try to upload it - never done it before , but will give it a shot.

OK,

I have tried attaching the document. Hope it has worked.

 

By the wat, I have e-mailed Liverpool City Council and asked them for a copy of the TRO. Just waiting their response.

thats police FPN - fighting that means going to Magistrate's court and paying more. The question is can the police issue such a ticket in a decriminalised environment ?

So far as I am aware it is only a contravention or offence to park in a cycle lane where the white line is solid. Where the white line is dashed it may be against the highway code but is not against the law in the absence of other restrictions.

 

Personally I think the PC or PCSO who issued the FPN didn't understand this and it is worth fighting. Had it been for an "unnecessary obstruction" it may be a different matter.

I tend to agree. We need full facts and pictures.

[scousegeezer]

OK Peeps,

As requested here is a photo, showing the dashed line and yellow lines further up the road. There are no signs saying parking restricted. Morally wrong - yes . Unlawful ??? Lets just say the better half wont do it again.
