On-Street PCN code 26
This contravention deals with vehicles that are parked more than 50cm from
the kerb and not within a designated parking place.
Evidence required for the issue of a PCN
1) Evidence must show the vehicle stationary parked more than 50cm
from the kerb and not within a designated parking place.
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.
The second context image should demonstrate the vehicle parked more
than 50cm from the kerb and not within a designated parking place.
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 to determine
whether the vehicle has parked or merely stopped.
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.
