Free Traffic Legal Advice

thanks for your response. Yes I was parked lawfully in accordance to the sign that was there. I had a disabled badge displayed at the time and was carrying my disabled son with me.

Hello everyone, (first post, tried to follow all the guidelines)

So I was parked on Caulfield Road at the time of said contravention, and on that day the road which is a one-way road was being used as a two-way road due to the other end being closed. There was a Temporary Restriction placed on the left hand side of the road. However, not all permanent signs on the lamp posts where covered or replaced with TTRO. More specifically the area in which I parked, where there was a tree and a lamp post and no temporary signs were placed on them.

My informal and formal appeals have both been rejected by the council (I know I should have come here first, but i JUST came across this website). In both appeals I stated that the traffic signs in the affected bays were not covered or removed as required, leading to potential confusion. The visible regular signage suggested that no additional restrictions were in place. Also, there were no TTRO signs placed on posts, trees, or walls adjacent to the area where you parked, making it impossible for me to be aware of any temporary restrictions.
