Question 2. Please provide the legal text, bylaw or other legal basis upon which the red route parking restrictions in force have been established which result in a penalty charge notice being issuable at the specified contravention location.
The controls in place at individual locations on the network are detailed in Traffic Management Orders made under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. It is a contravention of these controls that may give rise to the issuing of a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
This location has always been part of the TLRN and the bay is operational between 7am-4pm, no stopping allowed between 4pm-7pm. That fits with the general rule of evening peak hours, i.e. traffic leaving London.
Question 3. Please provide information, notes or other written documentation created on establishing the rationale and decision making taken for why red route controls are required for no stopping between the hours of 4pm and 7pm Monday to Saturday at the specified contravention location.
TfL does not hold any such information. The legal basis for the enforcement in place at this location is set out above. The GLA Roads Designation Order 2000 was signed in April 2000, prior to TfL being formed in July 2000.
If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely,
