Yellow Lines
Comments
-
If the lines are in good order either side of this "patch" expect a ticket. The get out being proposed by scooby doo was closed years ago. If the intention is still clear then the lines do not have to be complete or indeed finished off with termination lines.
Suggest you read:
"The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England & Wales) Regulations 1996." which is still extant !
of which:
Regulation 18(1) provides:
“Where an order relating to a road has been made, the order making authority shall take such steps as are necessary to secure:
( a ) before the order comes into force, the placing on or near the road of such traffic signs in such positions as the order making authority may consider requisite for securing that adequate information as to the effect of the order is made available to persons using the road;
( b ) the maintenance of such signs for as long as the order remains in force.”
If the yellow lines were damaged due to road works and were not restored afterwards, then the Local Authority failed to comply with its statutory obligation under 18( 1 )( b ) of the Regulations 1996. Therefore, the relevant Traffic Management Order is no longer in force and legally there are no parking restrictions on this road.0 -
Most likley because its a small stretch of road and the council didn't want to give away any more free parking than they do already, as just around the corner you can pay about £10 for parking.
Seeing as there is probably a very good reason for the yellow lines in the first place, should you really consider parking there at all?The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
For the reference of those still confused about the need for "T-bars."

Interesting, but totally misleading .......... NOT a legal precedent.
Just WHO is Mr Hugh Cooper (The Adjudicator !)
He appears to be "chair" of a parking ticket appeal board in/near the Borough of Camden. He appears to have no legal standing/title - and he seems to think that a Law can exist, but the Council (by whom is is probably paid !!) can ignore it when it works against them !0 -

Seeing as he seems to be the person who decides whether a ticket should be paid or not, I'd say he had quite a bit of legal standing.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
My mother was found guilty at court for such an offense. The judge said that although the lines weren't valid any more, she was parking incosiderately (ie. obstruction).In a road there is yellow lines, however the road was recently relayed only small section big enough for one car, however this part hasn't got the yellow lines on (since they haven't been repainted). Does this mean it is legal to park on this area, or am I still liable for a fine if I parked there, since it obviously doesn't have marks to say where the yellow lines should end?0 -

NO he doesn't ! only a JUDGE has a legal standing - you or I could be appointed as chair of one of the these appeal boards, if we knew the right people - unless you are a High Court Judge (I certainly am not), our opinions carry NO legal weight.0 -

I am not sure that is right.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
