Every council penalty charge notice carries a contravention code — the two-digit number saying what the authority claims you did. Find yours below for the official wording, whether it is camera-enforceable, and the answers that apply to it.
What the contravention code numbers mean · All parking and traffic ticket questions
Ticketed at the roadside — yellow lines, bays, permits and meters.
Council-run and other off-street car parks.
Camera-issued: bus lanes, box junctions and banned turns.
Codes and their official wording are from the London Councils PCN contravention code list (v7.0, effective 31 May 2022), the list used by enforcement authorities across England and Wales. Scotland runs a separate regime and does not use these codes. Last reviewed . General information, not legal advice.
