Firstly thanks for replying ,

 

I`m none too hot with all things computers ,and have spent most the day reading up on how to post/link pics (only to discover i have nt got enough posts to do so ,doh!)

 

apologee`s in advance for that.

 

ok ,,alledged offence happened on queen street sheffield approx 15/20 yards before junction with ,tenter street .

53°23'4.91"N 1°28'16.87"W

co ordinates taken from google earth and have to say the signage and markings (or lack of them!) hasnt changed from that 2008 shot ,,there was a damaged sign post next to my car (with no sign on ),and a signpost 20 yards in front of my vehichle stating i was entering a controlled zone ,,me being 20 yards short of this sign and with no markings i assumed i was ok to park there (so did 4 others!).the pcn states ceo 980 had reason to believe the following contravention had occured and that a penalty charge is now payable :46-stopped where prohibited(on a red route or clearway).

 

i took 4 pics on my mobile of car on unmarked road ,,distance of car from controlled zone sign , and also a pick of damaged leaning sign post minus sign .

 

 

if you can decipher the above and can help ,great!,

if not thanks anyway for trying .

 

 

has no relevance to this pcn but Just to add have fought a previous pcn in works vehichle(fair few years back with same council ) on grounds of couldnt see(genuinely ) yellow lines on road due to mud and pcn was withdrawn !!!!

There are two clearway signs at the end of the double yellow lines if you parked after them you were on the clearway.

Comming from the other way, you would be exiting the clearway which ends at the signs where the DYs start. Having said that, I think there should be a sign (facing your direction) saying 'clearway ends'.

thanks for the replies,

 

was genuinely unaware i was in the clearway and if there had been clearway end signs in same position as the clearway signs but facing in my direction i would have realised i was in the`CLEARWAY`,and certainly wouldnt have parked there,so my question is do the regulations say the clearway end signs are compulsory ?.
