Haringey, code 02 parked loading/unloading restricted street,
Green Lanes N4

Hi
I parked my car at 16:46 on Saturday 07/12/24. The parking sign
stated that the restricted time ended at 17:00, so I paid for 15
mins of parking. On returning to the car I had a parking
ticket. So I took photos of signs and car etc. I honestly
could not understand why I had been given ticket and I thought I
had complied completely with the parking restrictions,
purchasing the required parking.
When I got home and studied the images I noticed at the top of
the pole was another much smaller sign that is maybe the
problem, stating no parking between 5-7.
If this is the case, I feel like I have walked into a trap. I
was following the parking restrictions between 9am-5am, but then
at the top of the pole in a much small less visible sign there
is a restriction between 5-7. Surely this is too confusing and
should be just as visible, same font and colour as the parking
sign with the restrictions I followed.
Any help would be very much appreciated, as I genuinely feel
like this is a deliberate attempt to miss lead and confuse
anyone trying to park that is unfamiliar with the restrictions.
Please find below links to all relevant images.
Thanks

Well, sorry, but the sign is OK and completely legal. Parking
signs like this, where parking and also loading is banned at
certain times, then pay-for-parking is also at certain times,
are commonplace.
So to convey the meaning of the Traffic Regulation Order for
this location, several signs must be used together, with the
most important one at the top. The top sign is a standard "No
Waiting" sign with the times when it's not allowed. Underneath
that is a sign saying when loading is not allowed, because is is
an exemption to the sign above, unless signed separately as it
is here. Then the final sign tells you when you have to pay for
parking. Outside the hours on the three signs, parking is
allowed and free. So Sunday has no restrictions at all as Sunday
is not listed in any of the signs.
Please give us a GSV link to the exact location of parking so we
can check out the sign and the road markings.
However, it does not look as if you have any credible appeal
argument on the contravention itself, but appeals are often won
on the council management of the enforcement process, so wait
for others to comment.
