Goods vehicle failed to comply with Pedestrian Zone restriction.
Northern Ireland uses code 54. 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 54. applies to goods vehicles in pedestrian zones where loading or unloading is permitted but the vehicle is otherwise waiting in contravention of the restriction. A 10-minute observation period applies.
