non compliant road markings
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2010-10-04 14:49.I asked the council who had painted the kerb markings in the drop off bay in front of the front entrance. They had 3 yellow blips when only 1 blip or 2 blips are compliant and mean something under current legislation.
The markings on the main road are fine and have a single blip which means you need to check the time plate for times. I had informed the council that the notices placed were confusing to notify motorists of the morning and afternoon loading/unloading ban.
As a motorist, we should know to check the nearest loading/unloading time plate, even when parking in somewhere famliar. If there is no time plate nearby on the same side of the road, the council is not entitled to make enforcements and that is grounds to challenge the ticket.
The web site http://www.ticketfighter.co.uk/ is very useful and has helped me write a number of letters contesting tickets. Islington is very poor in ensuring its road markings and signs are compliant.
