Resident parking but no bays/lines

dannyjebb

When visiting a local hospit I have always parked on a road about 10 minute walk away.

Today after returning to my car I was surprised to see a PCN. I drove down the street and there are some small yellow signs on the odd lamppost saying residents only parking and there is also a sign as you turn onto the street saying residents parking past this point 8am - 9pm.

There is nothing on the street though, no parking bays no yellow lines, nothing saying what the fine is if you park without a permit.

I have parked on her every couple of weeks for over a year and never had a ticket before. Maybe I've just been lucky. I have checked Google Street View and these signs are on it so must have been there a while.

My two questions are, does there need to be bays/lines on the road for the area with resident permit parking?

Secondly, does there need to be a sign to say when this ends? If you drive along the road you get to a housing estate and there are no signs at all saying about resident parking but there is nothing to say when this stops?

Thanks for any advice

You can tell. Change the date back, with the little arrow next to it on GSV.
