This case concerns the local authority’s use of the Traffic Signs Manual (opens in new tab) with regards providing signs and lines for a particular restriction, clarifying that there is no need for repeater signs.

The Traffic Signs Manual provides advice on best practice for local authorities installing signage, which in this case was for a Permit Parking Area. Councils are not bound to follow its advice to the letter, as every physical location will vary.

The Traffic Signs Manual cannot hope to provide a definitive answer in every situation.
