Parking in a 'Restricted Street' - HELP

Hi all,


Yesterday, I parked on a single yellow line on a street. When I returned, I saw a parking ticket which says:


01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours


Now, I did a bit of googling and worked out that this usually refers to parking in a controlled area, which I can now see is on google maps on the other entrance to the street. The regulations says they must put up signs at the entrance to the controlled zone. However, I came in through the entrance that didn't have the sign.


Is this a valid grounds of appeal?

Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks

    You were already in the CPZ before you got to the road. The boundary signs will be elsewhere before you get to the junction.hXXps://www dot barnet dot gov dot uk/dam/jcr:1ea7d607-a56a-4da4-b417-5cbc10724d90/Golders_Green_CPZ dot pdf
