Looks like the location is here: -

The sign nearest your friend's car is for the motorcycles bay: -

The bay she parked in is Residents only: -

The bays are correctly marked with a double-dashed divider, but parking in either would have got her a PCN.

The PCN can be seen within the link I shared. I think the confusion lies with the signage, which seems to only apply to motorcycles however the section under it is for vehicles which gave the impression it was ok to park there.
I’ll fish out the GSV link and send through shortly

Main things missing - PCN and a GSV link
Do not redact anything on the PCN unless it has name and address which you must redact.

On behalf of a friend, who got a ticket for parking on a residents bay however the sign that was closest to her car indicated it was okay.
Looking at the council pics, it appears she parked at the cut off where the bay goes from a residents only bay to a pay by phone bay during the permitted hours.
Is there an argument here that perhaps the signage / bay marking were a bit misleading?
