Yellow trick road
I have fallen foul of one of Croydon's many enforcement cameras. It is alleged that I “stopped on a restricted bus stop / stand”. The bus stop has a single wide yellow line. I did stop to set down a passenger but I am not sure that I did stop in the bus stop and I am asking for photographic evidence. Surely, if there are no kerb markings then I can pick up and set down passengers, even in a restricted bus stop? The Highway Code does not offer any help here. If you cannot help, can you point me in the right direction?

Section 36 RTA 1988 level 3 fine fixed penalty non endorsable. Local Authorities do not need Traffic Regulation Orders to apply the markings. Penalty Culture Britain again.
