Re: Parking in a restriced street during prescibed hours

Hi All,
A friend of mine parked in the evening to get a dessert and got
a PCN.
I'm not sure if the officer has this one correct, as there is a
restriction from 2-3 pm down the street (further down around
number 34 via street maps link), but also he parked on Double
Yellow lines, which they didn't PCN for?
What do you think guys?

Do you or he not know that double-yellow lines mean "No parking
24x7" ? There are two exemptions to this, (1) loading/unloading
and (2) boarding/alighting passengers. From your narrative,
neither of these exemptions applies, as " to get a dessert",
doesn't sound like loading, unless it was of a nature that
required him to park close to the collection point.
He could have been walloped for parking off the carriageway,
which has been an offence in London since the 70s, and needs no
signs or lines.

Regarding the DYL - that was the first thing that I stated to
him....
However, people park here to quickly get food and return to
their cars, as can be seen in the Google Maps example (although
I'm not justifying it), and that's what he did, ordered and then
came back to the car, NOT ordered and sat in the restaurant, etc
Interestingly, I'm wondering why then didn't he get a PCN that
stated he parked on the DYLs?

He did!
The contravention description for waiting on single or double
yellows when in force is 'parked.....during prescribed hours'.

Ahh, I see - Thank you for the clarification.
I'll relay that info to him and get him to pay the discount rate
while he can.
Appreciate all the help, guys - Thank you

Basically he, and all the others who do a quick park/buy/leave
on the DYLs are chancing their arm that a CEO won't turn up, but
often they do and PCNs are served.
