> What happened:
>
> Cut a long story short, I parked on a single yellow line (with no
> chevron, vertical lines on it) and there was a confusing yellow sign
> on the curbside that read:
>
> "No Loading
> Mon - Fri 8:30am -6:30pm
> Sat 8:30am - 1:30pm"
>
> So I parked on a Saturday at 1:45pm, but I got a ticket.
>
> The irritating thing is that I had already specially phoned up the
> Westminster Council, (in London, UK) to ask for clarification, and
> they had looked up the street on their computer and said that yes, I
> could park there legally after 1:30 on a Saturday.
>
> To be more specific, what they had actually said was that there are
> some parts of the street in question that you can park on, on a
> Saturday that are okay, and some that are not. So I asked him how I
> could tell which was which, and then I described this sign in great
> detail. And he said yes you can park underneath that sign. "Are you
> 100%% sure?" I asked. "Yes definitely 100%%" he replied.
>
> - Can anyone clear up my legal position?

> I am absolutely sickened and DISGUSTED with the parking authorities.
> It seems to me that they are incentivised to DELIBERATELY make the
> parking rules and signage as complex as possible so that they can earn
> extra revenue from us innocent citizens who are TRYING to obey the
> law.
