Parking Ticket Question
Discussion
Received a parking ticket today for parking as per the photo. Think I may well be in the wrong but still confused by the signage. I know its not totally clear in the photo but there are 2 signs on the one lamppost with the left bit stating you can pay to park (which I did via phone) and the right bit with an arrow pointing the other way stating residents only.
The bit that I totally missed when parking was the fact that there was a dividing line within the bay. Can anyone explain this sign to me, as the lamppost that it is on is well to the right of the dividing line. Happy to be wrong just would like to know exact meaning for future reference as can't seem to find an answer elsewhere on the web.

Was if defo for not having a residence parking permit? could be for not parking within designated spaces?
Haven't for the ticket in my hand right now but that part of the ticket listed a few different things including not displaying a ticket which is irrelevant as I payed by phone so u assumed the ticket doesn't give the exact reason.Will check on the web in the morning as it wasn't coming up yet (says can take 24hrs to show up)
As its a long bay that then continues and not one designed for a single car and I am well withinf the next box, would parking across 2 boxes be totally incorrect and even a resident with permit would get a ticket for doing so even though they can legally park in either bay with their permit?

Pay up, OP, and be thankful if you avoid an appearance on "You park like a twannock.com". You are plainly and obviously straddling two bays. The photo says it all. The signage isn't a factor, save that it makes it clear that you are in two zones at once. Look at the post and the arrows relative to your car!
Indeed and you are totally correct.Edited by Breadvan72 on Tuesday 9th September 05:57
Just so it is clear these parking bays were the type covering the entire length of the road. If this had of been a resident who could legally park in either box under the law would they still get a ticket as I am curious?
