Not on - again

This is the second case this week of a PCN being issued at this location when a contravention did not occur. Note the complete absence of any pedestrians, school age or older, so what is the point of such a PCN? Revenue raising.

Mr Mustard's challenge reads like this:

Diagram 1027.1 is described in TSRGD 2016 as being 'Part of the carriageway outside an entrance, where…vehicles should, or must not, stop'.

1. The vehicle is not on the carriageway in Queens Avenue but on Orchard Avenue.

2. The vehicle is not on the markings which denote the extent of the restricted area.

3. There is no provision within TSRGD2016 for placing zig zag markings across a road junction.

(TSRGD is the 500 page Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 which Mr Mustard likes to have the occasional read of. Diagram 1027.1 is the yellow zig zag marking).

Any bets as to whether Barnet Council reject the challenge and he ends up talking to an adjudicator?

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard
