Points to check before you pay
- Outside London, pavement parking is only enforceable where the council has a traffic order and signs; check.
- Some streets have signed exemptions allowing partial footway parking.
If one of these applies, the usual statutory ground is that the contravention did not occur. Other grounds (not the owner, stolen vehicle, already paid, wrong amount, procedural impropriety) apply whatever the code. The checker shows which fit your case.
How much is a code 62 PCN?
Outside London, councils charge higher level contraventions at £60 or £70 depending on their band, halved if paid early (SI 2022/71, Sch 3). In London it is £160 (Band A) or £140 (Band B) from 7 April 2025 (London Councils). Wales sets its own levels: check your PCN.
Questions
What does PCN code 62 mean?
Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any part of a road other than a carriageway. Pavement parking where it is banned (across London, and where a council has made an order elsewhere).
Is code 62 a higher or lower level contravention?
It is a higher level parking contravention, so it is charged at the council's higher rate.
