This case clarifies that a motorist is expected to be aware of the prohibition against parking adjacent to a dropped footway (which applies at all times), even without the presence of signs or road markings. The dropped footway prohibition also applies when the carriageway has been raised to meet the footway.

Also made clear is that the discount period for payment of a parking PCN applies for 14 days, though the council has a discretion to extend the discount period.
