Double Yellow Lines on Private Land

jman247

Hello, apologies if this has been answered but I can’t find a concrete answer anywhere. I’ve got a private parking ticket for parking on double yellows on private land (thought that I was fine as I was loading). My question is, what is the legality of double yellows on private land? I’m putting my defence together at the moment which is formed on various other things, but I’ve seen conflicting info on whether double yellows are enforceable in this situation, so any info would be greatly appreciated! There was a sign (albeit 250 yards away) that stated ‘private land - no parking on double yellow lines’ etc etc.

The argument will be that by entering the land you accepted the conditions on the sign.
Ask a mod to move this to the parking sub-forum for more informed advice.

So you've got an invoice for not complying with their rules. Double yellow lines on a road actually mean no waiting so your private land ticket isn't enforceable in the sense of the yellow line offence.

However it may well be enforceable under parking regs. Is it a council or private ticket?
