How enforceable are parking restrictions,if you cant see the yellow lines or road markings due to snow,the local council grit the car parks,so you can see the lines,and they can get more cars on,to get more cash in the kity.
No idea, but aren't there usually also signs on posts as well as on the roadside. I wonder if they'd try and use that to do you, if they did do you that is?
Parking restrictions are just as enforceable in bad weather as they are in good. The lines don't mean anything, it's the signs that are important.
That being said the Police are unlikely to do anything as they have more important things to do.
IIRC,both the signs and the lines have to be visible for the restrictions to be enforceable.
In fact the lines mean everything,as,last year I appealed against (and was successful) a parking ticket I got for parking on double yellows.The reason for the 'let off' was that the lines didn't conform to the legal requirement,in so far as at the ends of the double yellows should be another yellow line at 90deg that joins the two together,& then continues toward the kerb.
This 'third line' wasn't there,so the ticket was invalid,despite there also being a No Parking At Any Time sign on a post not 5 yards away.
Result!
