Parking Ticket (Penalty Charge Notice) Codes

From 1 July 2007 differential parking penalties depending upon the severity of the contravention were introduced. Some less serious contraventions attract a lower rate of penalty whilst others considered more serious are penalised at a higher rate. The 50% discount exists for both types of contraventions.

Listed below are the Codes which appear on Penalty Charge Notices, along with their accompanying explanations and the rate  charged. Certain codes may also contain suffixes which give further information on the contravention.

If you wish to find out what the suffix means or you have any further questions regarding differential parking penalties please contact us on 020 8547 5995 or by email to parking.appeals@rbk.kingston.gov.uk
