Question juridique clé
Whether the bank forecourt was a public traffic area under the Road Traffic Act and thus subject to parking rules.
Solution extraite
The area was public because it was open to an indeterminate circle of persons; parking outside the marked bays therefore violated traffic rules.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 1 SVG and Art. 1 VRV, a traffic surface is public if available to an indeterminate number of users, even if its use is limited by purpose. A private forecourt open to the public can be removed from the SVG only by signage prohibiting access or by a barrier; neither existed here.
