It does seem really stupid that they have put these new signs up barring entry, but the parking zone signs with times are still there !
From TSRGD:
"controlled parking zone”
.....
(a)
an area—
(i)
in which every part of every road is subject to a prohibition indicated by single or double yellow lines or single or double yellow kerb markings ..blah blah
AND
(ii)
into which each entrance for vehicular traffic has been indicated by the sign provided for at item 1 or 3 of the sign table in Part 3 of Schedule 5
This isn't an 'entrance for vehicluar traffic' because the 'No entry' sign means:
No entry for vehicular traffic!
I was misled. I noticed numerous signs, in particular the Controlled Parking Zone sign which, until recently, was placed to mark a vehicle entrance into the zone.
However, having viewed the council's video it is obvious that either this sign should have been removed or that the 'No entry for vehicular traffic' sign has been misplaced. As I understand it, these mutually contradictory signs are still in place.
Clearly, whether the location is or is not an entrance for vehicular traffic is still debatable and will remain so until the council removes whichever sign(s) should not be present.
Is my take.
