There are a few roads in my area which have intermittent double yellow lines.
They look as though cars were parked there when the road markers came so they just painted in between.
They have been this way for some time (over a month in one case) and tickets have been given out to people parked there even though they are not on the lines.
There are no signs stating 'no parking'.
The council refuse to squash the fines, stating "there should be lines there".
Is this legal?
Many cars have been ticketed, there is always cars parked there as it is handy free parking for town.
It seems a good little earner at the moment but do the fines legally have to be paid?
