Hi all - I got this ticket... On a yellow line, in front of own driveway, outside of controlled hours.

They are arguing contravention code 28.

Should I pay it ? They already rejected informal challenge but their response made no sense as they rejected because I was parked in front of a dropped kerb (which is a different contravention code).

Forget the yellow line. The contravention is being adjacent to a raised carriageway to the footway, usually enforced on what is deemed a pedestrian crossing or vehicle access area.

We need to see the council's pics so post them or tell us the PCN number and car VRM.

Also what is the Goggle Maps location.

Also post your challenge and their rejection.


Anyone have any thoughts based on the above ? Thank you in advance !

Their letter makes no sense as it is template for a code 27 lowered footway, whereas the contravention you have is for code 28, where the carriageway has been raised to footway level.

There are two likely reasons for the PCN.

There is a table at the junction there and they consider the whole table is a pedestrian crossing.

Your car was blocking a driveway - that's OK if it's yours alone but it's a contravention if the driveway is shared.


Right but wouldn't that table need to be signed somehow ?

Is there a 'pedestrian crossing' that exists that is not signed in any way ? I.e. no road markings or signage?

It's my own private driveway.
