Reading Council - Confusing parking sign PCN
« on: »
Hi,

I got a Parking Fine from Reading council for parking in the middle of this pole which has a very confusing sign.

Apprently the bays on the left of the sign are free for 2 hours within the time 8am - 8pm. And to the right it is 'permit holder only'. I was told this by a local resident. But there is no arrows pointing or guiding someone who does not live in Reading.

Is this something I can appeal.

If the pole for the signs is exactly at the boundary between the two separate bays, there is no need for directional arrows.
Please post a GSV link to the exact location.

The car was parked a few spots behind the sign.

Photo shows no bay divider on the carriageway bay markings, although the GSV view is quite old, so the marking may be there now.

the marking is a double-dashed line perpendicular the kerb - =====

So the signage is not adequate in accordance with Regulation 18 of The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996
