Portsmouth parking ticket!

[1ManRiot]

Trying to find a way out of this parking ticket, so far looks solid but can any expert eyes see anything to get me off it?

 

I was parked on the left as you look at the link below, late on a Friday night, roughly where the red, dropped curb starts. The whole road down that side was full of cars, I parallel parked into the space.

 

I didn't even notice at the time, but the restriction is double-yellows, but loading allowed between 8am & 6pm

TICKET: Took this picture on my phone so quality isn't great, can scan if need be. Blacked out the reg.

 

Anything at all to get out of it?

 

Many thanks.

Observed 'to' and 'from' is the same time... mistake?

Don,t think the to and from is classed as a mistake because it's during no loading times

I was in Pompy some time ago out and about.

I noticed that nearly all the parking bays in the town centre near the railway station/dock had double end markings .

This was right from the Railway Station upto the Hover Craft landing place

Ooooops. LOL

 

Now removed if you'd also do the honours DX?

Double end markings being incorrect?

[green_and_mean]

Double end markings being incorrect?

 

The contravention has nothing to do with the bay so thats not really relevant. The signage is however incorrect it should be a single yellow line with timeplate stating no waiting and no loading 8pm-midnight and midnight-6am. Not only is the time in the wrong format there is no 8pm to 6am in a day?? the line cannot be a double yellow line as for part of the day its a loading bay.

Magic, that will do for me, thanks.

 

I'm off to write my letter now...!!

looking on google there also appears to be a lack of kerb blips required for the loading restriction.

Of course they will reject your appeal and most likely take you all the way to tribunal, they always do where a technicality is involved

in your appeal ask that they send the traffic order for this area and all the enabeling paperwork as per the traffic orders proceures.

 

something like this.

 

 

 

1) The traffic order for the area concerned.

2) Documentation that confirms the restriction you alleged I contravened has been legally enabled by regulations 6 to 18 of the 1996 Traffic order procedures andevidence that a Notice of Proposal was published, that the statutory bodies such as the three emergency services were consulted, that those affected by living and working in the vicinity were notified, that the draft order was made available for public inspection and that a Notice of Making was also published

Where is the yellow sign to state that 'no waiting' is allowed at that time? No yellow line/plate = no restriction.

Double yellow lines do not need timeplates

PSST! I know... but I didn't see any DYLs in the pictures. BUT i noted the OPs mention of them in the orginal post now so i'm sorry OK?

SO it should be a SYL WITH a plate.

Hi

Welcome to The Consumer Action Group.

 

 

I am just letting you know that as you haven't had any replies to your post yet, it might be better if you post your message again in an appropriate sub-forum. You will get lots of help there.

 

Also take some time to read around the forum and get used to the layout. It is a big forum and takes a lot of getting used to.

 

 

Once you start to find your way, you will soon realise that it is fairly easy to get round and to get the help you need.

 

It can be bit confusing at first.
