Confusing parking lines PCN

[Hopeful Williams]

Hi All,

 

Got a parking ticket for "parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours".

The CEO took photos of my car on a double yellow, however, there were fading parking box paintings that caused confusion.

Do I have a case?

Then you in advance and for the help you all give.

the car is parked on DYL's and in a space designated only for motor cycles and only within the restricted hours on the sign.

The black car you see in photos was parked where motorcycles are meant to.

I was parked in front of it.

The pictures you see where there is no car parked but a double yellow with faded box markings is where I parked.

Let me know if I should circle where I'm talking about to make it clearer.

but you didnt tell us the photos are yours not from the CEO.

you are still parked on DYL's and the only parking allowed was motorcycles, in the next named space

i suspect that box says deliveries only.

there appears to be no car parking allowed at all,

The photos of the white car with an etched number plate out were from the CEO. Every other photo is mine.

 

So to confirm, you don't think I'll have a case even with the unclear faded parking markings?

the PDF has page numbers ....WHICH are the page numbers that are the CEO photos please

you parked in a restricted street.

the street and it's bays are named for their differing purposes

outside of these 'prescribed times' car parking IS allowed in the motorcycles space and the sign details this. the black car is there at 02:45AM on a friday which is outside the sign times. there appears a single yellow line in that bay, as there does in the bay the otherside of the deliveries bay you parked in.

the delivery bay has DYL's but the CEO stated 'parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours' 

which indicates there must be another sign apart from the motorcycle one that details the prescribed hours that delivery bay CAN be parked in....where is it?

Pages 8 and 9 are the CEO's pictures. Pages 2, 4, 5 and 6 are my pictures of the empty spot where I was parked at the time of the contravention. Page 3 shows the only signages there. This signaging can also be seen located above the black Toyota you can see on pages 4, 5 and 6. Hope this makes more sense?

the tom cribb is on oxendon st. 

2 doors down is the coach house outside of which is the sign with the restriction for the road. but not easy to read on google earth

however further down on haymarket house there is one that says:

Thank you.

Can't fully make out what's on the sign but assuming it upholds the contravention.

 

Shouldn't the sign be closer to that spot though?

thats the pub you parked outside!

opps wrong image that was low res

try now

 

 

[Hopeful Williams]

Again, thank you.

 

Is there a case that the sign should be closer to the point of the contravention? Again, the sign just above the contravention as well as the faded parking lines brought confusion.

there are 2 signs on the road thats well enough. and the first is no more than 25 ft from where you parked.!!

the bay 'markings' faded or not mean nothing, not sure why you think they do?

you CANNOT park on that road between 6.30pm and 8.30am.

Pic 4 shows from left to right:

M/c bay: Mon -Sat 7am-7pm and between 8.30am - 6.30pm a P&D bay, but for m/c's only

DYL's

P&D bay : Mon-Sat  8.30am -6.30pm which then becomes a Taxis only bay  6.30pm-8.30am

You were parked between the two bays on the DYL's which although not necessarily in the best condition were nevertheless clear. DYL's do not require signage.

Thank you both!
