Its not really a restricted road....its a main road....shops and all....like a normal road really...not sure why its restricted
The term restricted refers to any parking restrictions that may apply.
Sorry, we forget it's legal speak, not to be confused with a road where access may be restricted due to roadworks or similar.
In this case waiting and loading restrictions as shown by the yellow line and yellow kerb blips.
The post sign says when they are in force.
When your Dad got his BB he should have received a guidance booklet...worth a read to avoid this sort of error, a BB does not mean you can park anywhere.

Dear Sirs
Ref PCN ?
I seem to have made a mistake but to be honest, haven't a clue what that is.
I was taking my Dad (the Blue Badge Holder) shopping and parked in a parking bay. The bay was not operative, a yellow line restriction was in force so I displayed the Blue badge as I believed I should.
When I saw the CEO giving the PCN I asked why but was told the badge doesn't count.
But I don't know why.
If I was in error as the CEO said, please accept my sincere apologies and request that you use your discretion to cancel this PCN.
I attach a copy of the Blue Badge for your records.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Hugs and Kisses
