A spokesman for McDonald's said:-

“We have parking restrictions in place at a number of our restaurants, including at the Horsforth restaurant in Leeds, with a time limit to ensure there is adequate parking for all of our customers. At this restaurant the time limit is 90 minutes and we make this clear to our customers with signage in the car park.

“We work with industry-approved contractors, who use the cameras, which have been in place for some time, to ensure customers are sticking to the 90 minute limits.”
