I call on the Government to increase regulations relating to parking signs to require councils to ensure they are made clearer and have clauses about what to do if there is, for example, an incorrect pay station in between the sign & the correct one.

We believe that the current rules, which we feel are incredibly vague, mean councils can say their sign meets the guidelines, even if there are factors that may make the sign misleading. We believe that if the rules were more in depth and accounted for possible problems, councils would be forced to take responsibility for their misleading signage.

Government response

Local authorities manage parking signs and machines and appeals are possible. The Government sees no need to change current sign regulations.
