Parked wholly or partly on a mandatory cycle lane.
Northern Ireland uses code 49 for this contravention.
The code appears on a Penalty Charge Notice so that the particular parking or bus-lane contravention being alleged can be identified.
The standard Northern Ireland PCN charge is £90.
A 50% discount reduces this to £45 when payment is made within the first 14 days.
If the case progresses to a Charge Certificate, the amount increases to £135.
Check that the registration, location, date, time and contravention code shown on the notice match the circumstances.
If you believe the PCN was issued incorrectly, Northern Ireland has an official challenge and representation process.
Code 49 applies only to mandatory cycle lanes, which are separated from general traffic by a solid white line, bollards or a raised island. Advisory cycle lanes marked with broken lines are not enforced by traffic attendants under this code.
