I have a PCN from parking partially on the non obvious double yellow lines shown above. The lines look as if they have been partially tarmaced over, therefore everyone in the street assumes that part no longer applies. I wouldn't and have never parked on the obvious yellow lines which are there due to a junction. I'd appreciate opinion on whether I have a case (the council rejected the initial challenge, even with photographs), and also information on what regs to quote to support my case.

 

Many thanks for your help.

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

Can you give us the location please? Is it in a CPZ (Controlled parking zone)?

Hi, thanks for responding.

 

It is in Milton Keynes. One side of the street (the side I was parked) is no restricted parking. The other side of the street has a single yellow line restricted no parking 8-6 Mon to sat. At either end of the street are double yellow lines in order to restrict parking too close to the junction.

Not trying to be difficult, but as the street is the one I live on, I'd rather not give that much personal information unless absolutely necessary - does the exact street have relevance?.

 

The photos are very clear of the lines in question.

How exactly would anyone have known that.........until you told us, doh!

Yes because then it can be viewed on Google Streets.

 

On what basis did the councl reject your informal challenge?

Google streetview has cars parked over the partially tarmaced lines in question, so wouldn't help much, I'm afaid.

 

They said the lines were obvious and legal. Which I believe the photos show clearly they are not, and show obvious tarmac over part of the yellow lines,.

There you go. Take that to the adjudicator with the third pic of yours. The vital part is 4 (Permitted Variants (NONE)). The council may see sense if you send them a copy with a formal appeal.

Well your third pic certainly shows that they are very iffy to say the least. If your car was parked on that part, I would certainly challenge it.
