People's artist Banksy and those double yellow lines ...

... a word of warning to councils everywhere ... many of your signs and lines are as unenforceable as this one!

It is a requirement of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 that yellow lines must be correctly terminated with a T-Bar. If the T-Bar is missing or incorrectly marked then it is not legal.

This double yellow in Bethnal Green is not correctly terminated.

This is also perhaps the only photograph of the famous street artist Banksy whose work sells for £tens of thousands.

It appears as though he too is unfamiliar with the requirements of TSRGD 2002 ... as the terminal mark he has drawn for the double yellow line is also non-compliant ... it MUST be a T-Bar ... not a flower or a gap.

So, if you have received a ticket at this location http://www.parkingappeals.co.uk/ will handle your defence and prepare your case for you free of charge.

Meanwhile, if Banksy gets in touch we can give him the numbers of all the other councils who are using signs ( meter bays, parking and pay and display bays) which are also non-compliant ... and earning vast sums for their 'graffiti.'

His work is art ... their work ( below) is incompetence but I am sure that the council would rather have a flower ... both are unenforceable but the flower is prettier.
