Is there a correlation between sign height or angle to the road and the number of tickets?
The article doesn’t say there is.

It’s difficult to say, there are signs on approaching roads but they too are high up.

Unlike parking signs where you can stop and read them, you can’t do that with school streets as the vehicle will be moving.

However I’ve now had a response from the lead member:

I have spoken to Officers about the feasibility of your proposal. My understanding is that Brent has no plans to introduce additional physical features, such as planters or bollards, at the entrances to all School Streets. Whilst these treatments may be appropriate in some locations, they are not suitable for every site. Physical features can reduce the available carriageway width, create additional maintenance liabilities, affect access for larger vehicles and emergency services, and may not be compatible with the layout or operational requirements of all streets.
 
You will also see from Wandsworth's detailed design drawing that the planter is an additional gateway feature; it does not replace the statutory TSRGD signing requirements or the prescribed mounting heights for regulatory signs. The regulatory signs remain in place and continue to display the same information, including any applicable exemptions.

Brent's School Street signage is fully compliant with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD). In addition to the statutory requirements, we have installed advance warning signs for all our School Streets to provide motorists with additional notice of the restrictions.
 
We meet regularly with our appeals team to review Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) appeals. Where appropriate, we assess whether any additional measures, including further advance warning signs, would improve driver awareness and compliance.
 
Brent will continue to monitor compliance across its School Streets, review the effectiveness of its signage, and install additional advance warning signs where there is evidence that they would improve driver awareness and compliance.

Although ECP seem to have this WELL hidden on their website!

I parked in a residents permit only bay in camden, London using a blue badge. I was surprised to then find weeks later i got a PCN.  The letter from westminister council stated I did not display a blue badge and that a PCN was attached to the car. However the photos the council took of my car do not show any PCN attached to the windscreen. I did not find any notice on the car when i returned to it either on the day otherwise i would have dealt with it much sooner. In fact they actually show what i think is the blue badge on display in the front on the dashboard just behind the windscreen. See attached photos. These were taken by the PCN officer supposedly. I also included the sign showing the parking restrictions for that bay. My mothers blue badge is issued by barnet council. The bay is a shared bay between camden and westminister. They have differing rules on blue badge usage for residents permit bays. Westminister does not allow but camden does. So I took that as being ok to park in as camden allow blue badge for those bays. Anyway what i want information on is what should i do. I have been offered the lesser fine of £80 to pay if i pay early. I appealed the notice once but was rejected as the letter stated i had no blue badge displayed. In the councils photos nothing is clear. Normally they take photos of the PCN notice attached clearly to the car before they leave. They just took some long distance shots with unclear photos of the windscreen and no clear photo of the PCN attached to the windscreen. Should i appeal using the tribunal option they have? What is the best option in this case. I 100% believe i did place the blue badge on the dash before leaving the car and there 100% was no PCN attached to my car on returning.

Please repost all sides of the PCN so that all of each page is visible. Only redact yr name & address - leave all else in.

This is normally the prelude to a discontinuance.

Ignore.
