Hi Crugers,
There was no sign displayed where we entered.
There was no road marking or sign saying No Entry.
The pedestrian Zone was in force on the main street from about 11am.
There is a one way system in operation and you cannot access the main street because the bollards are on the entry roads yet there are no signs or bollards on the exit roads.
I think you've answered your own question. 'One way' can't be circumvented by by virtue of the fact your car is pointing in the right direction...
While I agree that the direction the car is pointing doesn't circumvent the 'one way' rule - if the entrance to the road is NOT marked as no entry (or if there was both a no left and a no right turn sign on the road from which you entered) then you can't be expected to be aware that the road is ONE WAY.
I think the OP was well aware it was a one way street and that they were entering in the wrong direction!
Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork
...I have just received a "Fixed Charged Offence" from Cork City Council for parking in a valid parking space in a street off Oliver Plunkett Street...
The roads into OPS are blocked with bollards but the roads leaving OPS are not. When we saw a space on one of the side roads out of OPS we reversed up the street into the valid space - not sure if this was right or wrong!
I got one of those little notices once and actually thought it was a joke, figured some pranksters printed them up and stuck them on cars for fun. So I just took it off and ignored it, weeks later I got fine for parking in a disabled space, the space I was in was not a disabled space but was between two such spaces. I called to local garda station to protest and was told put it in writing to Chief Superintendent. I did this, also enclosed photo of space I had been parked in showing it was not a disabled space, I figure the person who gave me the ticket presumed there was a row of 3 spaces with me in the middle one.
Received letter weeks later saying they would not be pursuing it, no admission they were wrong though. I might add I would never park in a disabled spot, wouldn't even pull into it to post a letter!
Ahh selective quoting! I think the below is the one I was referring to Crugers! So regardless of where the car was parked, it could only have got to that street by reversing up a (closed) one way street!
Yep. Montague Lane is bisected by Montague Street. If you exit Montague Lane (North) onto Montague Street there is a white arrow on blue regulatory sign meaning you MUST turn left and proceed towards Harcourt Street but there are no regulatory signs or markings for exiting from Montague Lane (South).but with Montague Street there is another couple of streets off it before you get to Harcourt Street so it is 2 way but you just can't enter from Harcourt Street.
Don't know about your particular situation, but the marked area adjacent to disabled parking bays has a particular purpose. Wheelchair users may need extra space at the side or rear of the car to lift their chair in and out, and to slide out into their chair.
