This is a mandatory contraflow cycle lane on Granby Street in Leicester. It was built before 2016, which means that it is illegal to park in it. It is also illegal to reverse the wrong way along a one way street.
The registered keeper was offered, took and completed a driver education course as an alternative to prosecution.
