The fine that was not a fine part 1
In the latter part of 2012, I was stopped on my cycle by a Community Police Officer ( hereinafter CPO ). I had followed a cycle route directional arrows and markings from a main road that took me across two shared pedestrian traffic lights ( Toucan crossing ) and onto a footway that had numerous cycle parking frames. I had been following an elderly lady who appeared to know the area as I was unfamiliar territory. As the lady pulled over to chain her bicycle I went on two cycle frames further and it was then that I was stopped. I had not seen any signage telling me it was purely a pedestrian area. Given the time of the day there were not many pedestrians. The CPO then proceeded to issue me with a ticket and a fine of £30. I stated that there isn't any signage advising and he said "I know."
