Overview
Parked within a parking place but on a yellow line marking that prohibits waiting within that area.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Yellow lines within parking areas indicate internal no-waiting zones. These must be clearly marked. If the line was faded or there was no clear sign, challenge.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Internal yellow line not clearly visible
- Driver unaware yellow lines can exist within parking areas
- No sign explaining the internal restriction
Your rights
The yellow line must be clear and accompanied by appropriate signage. Faded markings are challengeable.
