Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi

I received a PCN the other day for parking in a residential street which has been fine previously. I was very surprised to see a PCN when I came back to the car. I only noticed the signs on the lamppost afterwards.

I've been looking into this and I'm questioning if the PCN is actually enforceable. There are no lines accompanying the no waiting sign. As far as I'm aware the street is not within a CPZ or RPZ. There was no signage indicating it is within any type of zone.

What is the legislation regarding signs with no line markings? I know urban clearways don’t require lines but this isn’t the case for where I parked. I don't believe it's council land either as they’ve used code 01 which applies to public land.

My final observations is  something which I found whilst searching around:

St Simon Street - Temporary No Waiting At Any Time Order;

Now if that is the case has this been correctly notified? How would I even know it was in force? There is no info about how long this temporary restriction is in place for, or the times it is in force. I also read something about TTRO's having to meet strict rules such as cones being placed and temporary signage- unlike the metal fixed plate in this case.

I need some advice from more experienced members before I submit any appeal.

It seems Salford council don’t provide photographic evidence of the alleged contravention so it's a good thing I took my own photos. Everything below:

Any input on this case would be appreciated.

YOu would seem to have shown us a sign that is a repeater sign for some sort of parking zone. The signs for this will be an the entrances to the zone.
Looking at GSV, which is March 2025, there are no zone or other signs, so what we need to see is what is at the sole entrance to St Simon St off Blackfriars Road.

Just putting up a sign as you have shown is not permitted unless part of a zone. The sign indicates "No Waiting" 24x7, so where are the double-yellow lines ? Needless to say, with most people totally ignorant of parknig law, they'll get their money from others, hopefully not you if you follow our advice.
