Hi guys,
I got a PCN recently where I was parked on a residential street in a bay marked out with white lines suggesting you can park here at times as these bays are all along the same road with free parking all day every day, and the only controls are in place for event days. These bays were also repainted a few weeks ago.
However on this little stretch of road on the corner there are what appears to be a single yellow line which has faded across a run about 3 car lengths within the bay area, but the white line markings for the bay are new.
The street sign shows the same event day notice as it does down the entire street. However on this stretch of bays there is a restricted hours sign above the event day sign. I challenged the warden who said they can still have dual parking restrictions. However thee council yellow lines have never been repainted for years and left to fade out as shown. I have never seen a single yellow line within a white marked out parking bay. Can this even be considered legitimate?
Interestingly the council have remarked double yellow lines down the road in front of a couple other building driveways so its not like they haven't been down the road with yellow paint.
The contravention code is 01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours. I was caught 17:21 to 17:24
I have removed my car from the picture to show the bay as it looked before I parked there.
Any suggestions please welcome.
