PCN - Stopped at bus stop

Fractals

I had no idea that stopping at a bus stop was a traffic offence that carried a fine with it.

I understand from other posts that appropriate signage needs to be on the bus stop in order to make the PCN stick, could someone please point me to what signage is necessary so I can attempt to challenge the PCN?

Many thanks

if it helps, the photo they have used is attached. There is also a video of my wife getting out the car and me driving off.

Was this a council PCN or from an unregulated private parking company?

If the former, you would be better taking this over to our friends on the Free Traffic Legal Advice forum as we specialise in private parking events here on MSE.

If it was from a private parking company, we will need a lot more information after you have read the sticky Announcement for NEWBIES.

If you google "No stopping sign bus stop" you will see examples of the No Stopping Clearway signs with and without times. The road markings indicate that this is a Clearway Bus Stop, so no stopping to pick up or  setdown passengers is allowed. The No Stopping Sign should have a Clearway symbol on it. This is a blue disc with a red border and a diagonal red cross across it.

It certainly is. Always has been for years.

Did you know you can legitimately use double yellow lines to pick up/set down passengers? Why not just stop on a double or single yellow, which is what they are there for.
