Red Route Fine

It looks like the red route section is to allow access to and from the building on the right (undergoing building works) that has a driveway. You have to give emerging drivers room to see traffic and allow for larger vehicles that swing out.

Ah you are quite right, vikingaero. I didn't spot that in the picture.

It looks like you're right however, using red lines in this way seems unusual. Usually, if there is an entrance that could get blocked a white line is used.

yeah I knew the crap was coming way. Listen I know I was wrong and I dont see if there is anywhere out of it. The rulese were there and I broke them.

But I also would have liked some common sense from the camera operator, Im not causing any harm. that dropped kerb you see isnt in use while the building is being built up. the road has red lines in between bays all the way up that road so its not for the "junction" reason. although this is a dropped kerb that is not wide enough for a car so I dont actually know what it would have been used for. Beside, you dont paint across a junction... the lines would bend round the corner. In my opinion there should be double yellows down there if they dont want people to stop there... as red lines are for Traffic flow reasons only and that is not how they are being used in my case. That is more my point.

But if there were double yellow lines wouldnt you get the same bleating
"I was there just 2 minutes" "Why me" Dont think the colour of the lines matter, it is just the reason behind why the lines are there ?

Go to pepipoo and ask there - you'll get on-topic advice, such as 'are the red lines legal'

Because they are spaces which the local businesses have negotiated with the council to have placed there. They are proper genuine perfectly legal to park in spaces. The OP didn't park in one of those.

No defence.

I was being facetious.
The markings do seem a bit dumb since a car parked inbetween two others is not an obstruction. Unless they've factored in doors being opened into traffic etc.
