Hi,
Got a PCN from council for parking on double yellow lines with my daughter's Blue Badge (she was with me). The ticket says loading restrictions in place... However, you can barely see the loading restriction paint on the kerb. They're saying it's obvious because further down the road (where it changes to single yellow lines) that mention the loading restrictions. I genuinely didn't see the loading restriction tabs so assumed that the sign further ahead was relating to the restrictions on the single yellow lines - as I was on the doubles I didn't go look.
I'm pretty sure that there are rules for councils etc that state road markings need to be clear and obvious but does anyone know the actual legislation for this? I have a feeling this will be my only line of defence - a genuine mistake because their markings weren't clear.
This photo is from their evidence of the contravention but clearly shows the state of the markings.

Thanks in advance for any advice regarding their duties for road markings (if any!)
