Hi all, I am wondering if you can help.
I have received 2 parking violations on 2 consecutive days (I do not use my car during the week as I get the train into work).
The parking ticket describes the offense as being 'parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours'. The entire area is permit controlled between the hours 10am - 2pm Mon - Fri, CPZ J (Richmond).
I have a residents parking permit for this particular zone CPZ. The car was parked on a single yellow line however as described on the Richmond council website as 'Single yellow lines operate for the hours shown on signs by the line, or for the hours of the Community Parking Zone (CPZ) which they are in' Yellow Lines however as you can see in the attached photos there are no signs designating the hours of restrictions for the yellow lines, and as such they fall under the control of the CPZ and as already stated I have got a permit which allows me to park on such.
The yellow lines and CPZ controlled bays with the times shown about are not controlled weekends so anyone can park there.
The ticket also isn't very clear about the contravention and after I phoned the parking helpline for Richmond, i asked out right if parking on a single yellow line could be the reason for the fine and they said they didn't know.
Thanks!
