Overview
Parked at an angle or position that does not conform to the bay markings.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Similar to code 86 but applies inside bays rather than overhanging them. CEOs photograph from a standard angle. If bay markings are faded, challenge. Also check if adjacent vehicles pushed your position.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Bay markings faded
- Tight bay with adjacent vehicles
- Angled bay not clearly marked
- Photo angle misleading
Your rights
Request CEO photographs. Faded or unclear markings are a valid challenge.
