Crystal Palace Road - Double yellows East side between Crawthew and the Actress

[lilaccruiser]

There are intermittent double yellows on the east side of CPR between Crawthew Grove and the Actress.  Everyone ignores them - this side of the road is always fully parked.  I'd always assumed that as they aren't distinct for the most part - and mostly seem to have been painted over in black at some point in the dim and distant past - that they don't apply any more. I've lived in this stretch since 2013 and I park my car here most of the time and have never got a ticket.  Until last week that is.  Does anyone know whether the double yellows in fact do apply?  Which would be mad as they serve no prupose and are igored by one and all.  And did anyone else get a ticket last week?  Thanks!

ARGH!  I mean west side!

Can't remember the last time I saw a traffic warden doing the rounds anywhere.

They are very faded double yellows.  I would ask Southwark Council if they are still in use, they have maps showing where their double yellows are active.

https://geomap.southwark.gov.uk/connect/analyst/mobile/#/main is the map location, and attached is my harvested search result.  I selected the "Parking Bays (Traffic Restriction Orders)"  folder from the RH list of overlays, then deselected all the many item types with labels starting 'TRO' until finding the orangey one labelled "TRO Double Yellow Line" that lit up the CPRd ones.  There's also a facility on the map to open a table of TROs, which I'm happy to leave to someone else to investigate.   Unless you can find only one TRO matching a location and, after careful reading, find that it's of limited duration that's been exceeded, I think you should  probably assume that its matching yellow lines are thought to be  active.  If there's a disparity between the map and actuality I've no idea if that affects a line's legal status.

PS And better not trust my negative finding of no other line types on the map in that location without confirmation.

I had a look today as I was walking that way.  You can hardly see them as double yellows they are so black and faded I don't think you would see them if you were in a vehicle. and there were cars parked all along that stretch, none had tickets.

I would take some photos and dispute the ticket.
