OP, can we get back to be contravention pl.
I am satisfied that at this location there are regulatory signs at the start and end of the restriction, and that there were clear double yellow lines present on the section of carriageway over which you left your vehicle. The onus remains firmly with the motorist to comply with any restrictions in place and to park with consideration to other motorists and pedestrians.
This is a simple restriction imposed under a traffic order and therefore signs are required.
We should see them and not focus exclusively on procedural matters.
