Quick answer

Contravention code 99 means: Stopped on a pedestrian crossing or a crossing area marked by zigzags.

Haringey enforces this via civil enforcement officers on the street.

What a Haringey code 99 PCN means for you

You have received a penalty charge notice from Haringey with contravention code 99. In plain English, this means the council considers that you stopped on a pedestrian crossing or a crossing area marked by zigzags.

The legal basis for this PCN is the parking enforcement scheme, backed by a traffic regulation order (TRO or TMO) that Haringey must have properly made and signed. Without a valid order and compliant signage, the restriction is not enforceable.

To challenge this PCN, you can make formal representations to Haringey. If the council rejects your representations, you have the right to appeal to London Tribunals. The adjudicator's decision is independent and binding on the council.
