Enfield, 02 Parked where waiting and loading unloading
restrictions are in force, Sarnesfield Road EN2
DIR By: cyrax.net

Morning Chaps.
Elderly father (late 80s) take the grandkids to our local park
with my sister Sunday morning. He displayed a valid blue badge
on the vehicle but didn't see/realise in addition to normal
single yellow restrictions, there were further waiting
restrictions in force. He feels just awful my sister has got the
PCN, so I thought I'd see if an appeal could be made.
Any assistance with the appeal appreciated.
Thanks
My thoughts:
- They parked equidistant from the two poles with the
restriction signage (according to latest Street View) so they
didn't see it one entering the road.
- Clearly this spot is a problem for other drivers too as they
mentioned four other vehicles had been ticked in the same
instance (seen in the photos)

There is a loading restriction indicated by the yellow kerb
'blips'. These are there to warn those parking that one is
present, and are very important for BB holders who cannot park
on a loading restriction. Your father should have looked to see
if there were any blips, because he parked on a yellow line. The
blips indicate that the motorist must look for the sign to find
out the restrictions.
Is your father aware of this loading restriction and its affect
on BB holders ?

There is an exemption to even SYL and loading restrictions, but
whether it applies depends on the facts.
Elderly father (late 80s) take the grandkids to our local park
with my sister Sunday morning. He displayed a valid blue badge
on the vehicle but didn't see/realise.
So, was the car parked and all occupants disembark to go to the
park for a period?
Looking ahead, as the car is 2026 reg it could be leased or
hired, so it's necessary to ask who is the registered keeper and
are their DVLA details current.

It's a case of him not being aware of the blips indicating
additional restrictions (regardless of BB), and not seeing the
signage at either end of the one-way street. He is extremely
cautious when parking, and many times he'll park far away (even
with the BB), so had he known what the blips indicate or saw the
signage, he would not have parked.
I have to admit - I wasn't aware the blips indicate additional
restrictions until this incident. Also true for the driver of
the vehicle (my sister), because had she been aware, I think it
would have spurred her to at least walk around and check
signage, even if screaming toddlers force you to rush and get to
the park quickly!

Apologies, I had a typo which I cannot seem to edit now. Yes,
all occupants left the vehicle and it was parked as in the
photos, while they were in the nearby park.
My sister is the registered keeper, and DVLA details should all
be correct. I don't know if it's leased. I can find out if it
matters for a potential appeal?

I'm reading up to see if there is any possible exemption to
single yellow line restrictions (especially for BB holders) but
not comping up with anything.
Anyone have any other suggestions for me to research before I
give up?

On the facts as given here, IMO no exemption applies.
The exemption in this case is alighting/assisted alighting that
is that the non-BB holder driver assisted a BB holder and young
children into the park and returned to the vehicle, the PCN
being issued while this was taking place. It's not uncommon for
drivers of BB holders to display the BB even when it's not
required simply as a precautionary measure.

The kerb blips look reasonable clear and ther is one right by
the driver's door, plus I assume the timeplate is nearby.
I think a polite ask for discretion is all you have on the
facts.
