I live in a busy coastal town and we only have on street parking. As a last resort if I come home from work and there are no other spaces I have on occasions parked overnight in this particular spot. I know it’s not ideal but as there are no official signs and no double yellow lines I assumed that although it’s not ideal, I was safe from a fine. Went to drive to work this morning and I have ticket. The wording states
“Code 27
Parked in a special enforcement area adjacent to a dropped footway”
They waited 5 minutes and as I didn’t appear they issued a fine.
I have taken some photos showing that there are no signs and no yellow lines. I was parked in front of this area across the 2 ends of the white lines.
Can anyone shed any light whether they can enforce this fine?
