Are there any laws governing the wording on signs for parking on private land? One place I'm thinking is a retail park, it is a 24 hour zone. It's monitored with ANPR cameras and the sign just says "Purchase a ticket. Maximum stay 3 hours" No mention that it applies for 24 hours. So I drove in to the empty car park after the stores had closed and went off for the evening. Ten days later I got a "parking invoice". I've been parking there for years but only recently have they installed cameras.
I'm not sure what your issue is regarding the sign, seems pretty clear to me, if you want to park there you must purchase a ticket and stay no longer than 3 hours. You parked overnight (so presumably quite a bit more than 3 hours) and got a bill.
Am I missing something?
