single yellow line PCN (MCC)
By: u05428en Date: January 6, 2026, 8:20 am
---------------------------------------------------------
received a PCN last night for parking on a single yellow line in
Manchester at 5:30pm (i believe? the contravention code is 01 -
parking in restricted street during prescribed period)
however, the area I was parked in was not within in the
controlled parking zone, so the MCC rule of not parking between
8am-8pm didn’t apply. there were ‘no parking’ cones on other
roads in the area, but no such signage or warning on the road I
was parked on or any sort of parking suspension in place.
I’ve scoured the area and can’t find any signage whatsoever
indicating a parking restriction. I’ve parked here several times
and seen plenty of other cars parking here without issue
I’m wondering if anyone can advise challenging the PCN - I’ve
taken plenty of images showing the lack of signage but am
wondering if there’s any way I can defend my case further?

We'd like to help but without materials we are much more in the
dark than you are.

no evidence was provided by the CEO of any signage indicating a
restriction was in place
also, reviewing the evidence I’m wondering if they gave the PCN
due to me being parked slightly on the pavement? two photos have
been taken of my tyres - imo this is quite confusing as I
believe this isn’t a law outside of Scotland/London unless
specified by a local authority (which in Manchester it isn’t;
I’m not blocking the pavement for pedestrians anyway)
without clear signage for the restriction I’m unsure why this
would apply

The contravention is for parking on a yellow line.
It seems to be in a CPZ - what was your route to parking there
as you need to check what entry signs you passed, if at all.
Here's one on Rochdale Road as you exit the city:

shouldn’t be within the CPZ based on MCC website - I entered
from the ring road via Simpson St, no signage indicating
restrictions there either.

have attached link for the CPZ map - I see what you mean about
the signage on rochdale road but unsure if this would apply to
this specific area?
I travelled via the inner relief road the entire journey so
never passed a CPZ sign as far as I’m aware, as the zone is
within this region & not outside of it

The CPZ map is city centre only. There are other CPZs. Try and
trace your route on Maps to see where you entered and if the
sign is reasonable to see and also I wonder how big this zone
is. Signing on busy main roads possibly dual carriageways some
way off from side streets means signs are easy to miss.

I can see one on maps on the junction between the ring road &
corporation st which I would’ve passed - it was dark & I joined
to the right lane, giving way to a heavy traffic from my left so
it wasn’t clear to me at all that I was entering a CPZ
given the lack of a sign on the right-hand lane of the dual
carriageway, worth appealing on this basis?
