Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

My first question is there a minimum time the traffic warden has to observe before giving you a ticket? On the ticket issues, he put observed from 11:21am - 11:21am

My second question is, I got a parking ticket for parking in a bay that has a restriction between 11am - 12pm. Where I parked was by a sign with a 9am - 5:30pm pay by phone. I didn't see the lines in the road and got out and went to the nearest sign and paid for a ticket.

So I paid for a ticket not knowing I was in a different parking restriction to the parking sign that was right by my car. In the photo is the sign that I went to by my blue car. Is there anything I can appeal apart from appealing to their good nature?

Thanks

Your story puzzles me. Please tell us the pcn no. and vehicle reg so the council's evidence can be looked at

If you look at the first photo, you can see the bays divider, delineating where there are two separate bays either side of it, with different restrictions. Clearly the OP missed these. It's a common problem made worse by councils not following guidance and placing the signs for each bay side by side on a single pole at the divider lines.

Just look at this; a malicious and devious trap for the motorist.  The sign for the bay to the right nearby, but the one for the bay on the left is about 30 yards up the road !
