       PCN issued by Trafford Council on a section of road with no
       yellow lines - valid?

       Hi,
       my query is as per the subject title.  I parked on a road in
       Trafford Borough, in an "indent" between 2 sections of pavement.
       The double yellow lines follow and wrap around the pavement
       area, but is not continuous, leaving a section of road with no
       yellow lines.
       Best explained by seeing the Google Street View here -
  HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/6HLUq32QAGvpCJ738
       - I was parked in the
       same space as where the Hyundai car is in the Google Street View
       (and where the Mercedes van is in a similar space).
       I have parked there in the past with no issues.
       Essentially, my car was parked parallel to a section of road
       with no yellow lines, in between where one double yellow lines
       stop and another double yellow lines start.
       Should I fight this?
       Any advice very much appreciated.

       Bang to rights As regards the contravention, IMO.
       Yellow lines, double yellow in this case, have effect
       perpendicular to their direction. In normal circumstances
       they're placed parallel to the carriageway and have effect
       across a road. Same here except because they're radiused their
       effect swings with them until, in your case, they have effect
       parallel to the main carriageway, which is where you were
       parked.

       Thanks tincombe, much appreciated, good to get the clarification
       albeit not a favourable one for me.
       You learn something new every day.
       It would obviously be helpful for the council to have the double
       yellows drawn all the way across, so as not to confuse anybody,
       but then again that would be cutting off a revenue stream for
       them, so no chance of that happening.
       Thanks again
