Single yellow lines... - toseland - 16-10-2015 Born out of necessity I have received a parking ticket. I was parked in a designated loading bay, and loading (from a local shop) The local high street is pedestrianised between 11 and 3 on weekdays, and 24hours over weekends. During the day however there is a necessitation for deliveries between 8 and 11am, and 3 and 5pm. There is some signage along the route (which is often obstructed by shop banners etc) and absolutely no yellow lines on the road what so ever. I am appealing it based upon the fact that i was loading a new fridge into the car from the local shop where i had just purchased it (and had moved the car from the 7th floor of the multistorey carpark to do just this). Was observed for one minute, and then ticketed (As it happens i had been parked for 2 minutes at this point only and was in the shop waiting for them to get the appliance) - we shall see how this goes, my question: Does the signage have to be in addition to a single yellow, double yellow, or red lines, with the customary loading "blips" on kerbs (often single for restricted times, double for no loading etc), or can the signage be mutually exclusive and carry no requirement for any road markings on the road (painted lines) itself. more simply put, do you have to have road markings as well as signs for the parking restrictions to be legally enforced or can there just be signs. RE: Single yellow lines... - cully - 16-10-2015 think the line means read the sign for instruction of restrictions RE: Single yellow lines... - Toms306 - 16-10-2015 I think if it's pedestrianised there doesn't need to be lines? RE: Single yellow lines... - toseland - 16-10-2015 its not fully pedestrianised.. these restrictions are effected by some of those fooking huge posts that can stop a 10tonne truck at 30mph and a mobile "restricted area" sign, which changes depending on what time of the day it is.. this was at 9:15 am. it holds a public vehicular right of way at other times RE: Single yellow lines... - bigcheez2k3 - 16-10-2015 You were loading in a loading bay? There is a street in East London that work tells us not to go down as no-one realises it's pedestrianised, I've been there for a delivery and nothing happened as I was in the loading bay. I believe you are allowed in pedestrian areas even during the posted times if it is for access. RE: Single yellow lines... - Niall - 16-10-2015 You find a lot of areas like high streets are zoned. So at the end of the hughstreet for example there will be a sign saying you are entering a zone and that parking restrictions apply to said zone. They don't have to have lines at all. RE: Single yellow lines... - toseland - 16-10-2015 That's what i was wondering, the legislation is confusing and the information on the internet is just as confusing.. from the general concensus online i gather that if there are lines they have to be accompanied by specific restrictions signage (as they cover a variety of situations, ie certian days, times, vehicular restrictions, etc). but there is little in the way of the opposite, if there is a sign and no lines (incidentally the sign was blocked by a banner similar to the 306oc flag but from the local shop) |
