Hi, I'm guilty having just come off a night shift and didn't see the signs - was also foggy, however I have been issued with a PCN before for going through a school street as this is and the fine was £80 reduced to £40 but I cant find the details. Is there any way of accessing past PCNS based on registration number and if the fine is so different would that be a procedural error? Thanks in advance for any help to reduce or avoid this.

How long ago was yr earlier PCN?

The PCN penalties are correct. Under the current Mayor the penalties have been increased to eye-watering levels, mainly, I suspect, to make sure people pay-up straightaway as the full penalty is so large. However, it is a fair few years since the penalty was £80.

There is an advance warning sign on your approach: -

and here are the restriction signs: -

which are not ludicrously high-up.

However, the advance sign would be easily missed of you were driving in fog, with your attention necessarily concentrating on keeping close watch on the road ahead, and the same applies to the signs at the entry to the street, so I would submit representations that although you were driving slowly, you did not see the signs because of the fog.

Just screenshot the payment status page and report back.

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

"pedestrian and cycle zone”
   
an area—
(a)
which has been laid out to improve amenity for pedestrians [F14, drivers of electric scooters being used in a trial] and cyclists; and

(b)
to which the entry of vehicles, except [F15electric scooters being used in a trial and] pedal cycles, is prohibited or restricted



Can't see how this area has been 'laid out to improve amenity for pedestrians and cyclists', GSV for previous years shows the same footway and carriageway configuration either side of 2023/2023 when the signs were erected.
