For what it's worth, Google Maps (at least now) seems to recognise that the turn is prohibited and takes you round the block instead.

Given the sort of things which Mr Musk views as acceptable, I doubt you'll get very far with X.

Quote from: Incandescent on 05 Jul, 2026 22:13Do, please, note that a sign with no days or times means it applies 24x7Except when it doesn't e.g. the resident permit holder bays in the same CPZ follow the same hours but there are no days/times on their signs. (I mean, that might be a defect in how Edinburgh interprets the legislation, but they certainly don't enforce those bays 24/7)

One of the main points of a land register is that you can rely on it without having to investigate the previous transactions, so the short answer is that a (innocent) buyer gets good title, and the "real" owner is left claiming their loss from the Land Registry.

Should there be any BB usage anyway if the disabled person was no longer a passenger?

Presumably you were meant to follow the directions for "setting down point" on the signpost.I'll agree that "except for access" signs always seem vague to me if you don't know the extent of the area which you're allowed to access.

The location of the photo appears to be here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6BFyfqxfJL9P82fj9and the prohibition is presumably the "no motor vehicles except for access" signed at the previous junction: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FcwGpMF3rS9X2UBY6

From the Highway Code (my emphasis):"Yellow zig-zag markings outside schools, hospitals or fire, police or ambulance stations indicate the length of road where you should not stop, not even to pick up or set down children or other passengers."also:"Rule 243DO NOT stop or park:near a school entrance"

I take it you were roughly here?The council has GIS mapping here which you can use to look up the extent of adopted highway - the "crossovers" are part of the adopted pavement. Unless you actually mean you were behind the pavement and on the construction site itself?

Has anybody checked that there was a Traffic Regulation Order in place for the temporary limit?

Quote from: Parkingbean on 04 Mar, 2026 21:55Surprised to receive PCN for 'entering and stopping' in yellow box at junction with Tillingbourne Gardens.I've seen that a yellow box should be at a junction of 2 or more roads but this is a single road only.Not sure I'm following you. It is a junction of 2 roads - Tillingbourne Gardens and Regents Park Road (assuming you mean here).

There is a one-way sign visible in the video (different from the signage in 2024) - I'm not sure whether that alone is sufficient but it does suggest the restriction still applies.

The bulk of the car might be on private land (not entirely sure of the status of that lane) but I expect the whole of the pavement of Liverpool Road is adopted highway and the front of the car looks to be overhanging that.

Quote from: GA on 08 Feb, 2026 14:29But where is the private property boundary here?Probably at the tree line. I think it reasonably obvious that you're on the road verge, not somebody else's grass.Or to put it another way, if you think parking there is permitted, what additional steps do you think the highways authority would have to take to make parking on the verge illegal?(I'll defer to others on whether there is something irregular about the PCN or otherwise which may save you, but I don't think "I wasn't on the road" is going to work here)
