Manchester’s bus lane TRO’s seem to define a bus lane as being bounded by a thick white line but there is no thick white line present. If the bus lane TRO you allegedly contravened uses the same definition, the argument is that the PCN must be cancelled as there is no bus lane in that location as defined by the TRO.I’m guessing that the bus gate is indicated by a round blue sign with a picture of a bus. If so, the sign conveys that the route is restricted for use by buses. Contravening this sign is, according to Govt guidance, a moving traffic contravention and not a bus lane contravention. Therefore the appropriate contravention description is Code 33 - Using a route restricted to certain vehicles.
We need the whole PCN please.
A single yellow during its restricted time is the same as a double yellow.My reason for stopping was solely for the purpose of unloading goods/items at Opera Grill. This was a brief stop necessary to transfer items from the vehicle namely DJ equipment consisting of decks, lighting and cables. I have emails confirming the booking on that day if required and also the invoice. Upon reviewing the location and the signage, I observed that there appears to be no specific restriction sign directly applicable to the bay where my vehicle was stopped. The only sign visible in the vicinity stated, "No stopping except buses" and featured an arrow pointing to the left. Crucially, the area designated as a bus stop, to which this sign presumably refers, was clearly and unambiguously delineated by yellow lines. My vehicle was parked in a bay outside these yellow lines, suggesting it was not part of the restricted bus stop area. Given the absence of any other prohibitive signage for the specific bay I occupied, and the clear demarcation of the bus stop area, it was reasonable to conclude that stopping for unloading was permissible in that location. Therefore, I believe the PCN was issued incorrectly as the signage was ambiguous and did not clearly indicate a restriction for the bay in question. I kindly request that you review my appeal and cancel the aforementioned PCN.
Draft a challenge and post here first.
Why didn't you park on the DYL outside Opera?
