Yellow Lines Not Compliant

Yellow line restrictions must be authorised by TRO and lines must be properly marked. Faded, broken, or incorrectly positioned lines may be unenforceable.

Legal basis

TSRGD 2016 Schedule 7; Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

How to identify this in your case

Photograph the yellow lines. Check for fading, gaps, unclear corners. Request TRO to verify restrictions match.

Sample appeal wording

I appeal this PCN on the grounds that the yellow line markings at the location are not compliant with TSRGD 2016 Schedule 7. The lines are [DESCRIBE DEFECT]. I enclose photographs. Additionally, I request confirmation that the markings as laid correspond exactly to the Traffic Regulation Order for this location. Any discrepancy renders the restriction unenforceable.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
