This contravention deal with vehicles that are stopped where prohibited (on a red 
route or clearway). 
 
 
Evidence required for the issue of a PCN 
 
1)  Evidence must show the vehicle stationary on a red route (single or double red 
line) or clearway. 
 
 
 
 
Method of Gathering Evidence: 
 
 
In all cases, whether for signs or markings, it will be a pre-requisite of 
 
evidence, that a record has been made that day, or at the time of 
 
contravention, that the sign or markings were present, correctly 
 
orientated and in good condition. 
 
 
 
The EO should capture incidents that clearly show the vehicle stationary 
 
in order to demonstrate that the vehicle has stopped. They should do this 
 
by capturing a clear context image of the vehicle as soon as is practical,
 
and the second context image demonstrating the vehicle on the red 
 
route or clearway.  
 
 
 
The time difference between the images should be enough to 
 
demonstrate that the vehicle is fixed and immobile. A continuous
 
observation period of 30 seconds should be enforced. 
 
 
 
In the close up image, the EO should capture the Vehicle Registration 
 
Mark and if possible the Make and Model of the vehicle. 
 
 
 
A contemporaneous record of the Camera No, Location, Time, Date, 
 
Vehicle Description, Offence code and PEZ id must be kept by the EO 
 
and made available on request to authorised personnel.
