PCN code 99: stopped on a pedestrian crossing
What this contravention code means, and how to appeal it · On-Street
Code 99 means the council or TfL recorded your vehicle as stopped on a pedestrian crossing or crossing area marked by zigzags. A valid permit or payment that simply didn't show, or signage that wasn't clear at the time, is a real basis to challenge this rather than pay it.
Full description on the ticket: “Stopped on a pedestrian crossing or crossing area marked by zigzags.”
Letter after the code, like 99n?
A letter after the number narrows down the exact circumstances: n means red route, o means blue Badge holder. We factor the exact suffix into your letter automatically.
Can I appeal this?
Yes. This is a statutory Penalty Charge Notice from a council or TfL, not a private charge, so you have a formal right to challenge it before it escalates into a Charge Certificate.
