Barking & Dagenham, 50U-prohibited turn on Dagenham Heathway
« on: »
I received a PCN via post for performing a prohibited turn (no U-turn) on Dagenham Heathway. I parked in the bay  right next to the snack bar shop (Street view link in google maps) I had come from the direction of Parsloes Ave so I performed a U turn to head back in that direction. In all honestly I didn't see the signs which appear on google maps as it was a busy Sunday afternoon loads of pedestrians trying to cross as I approached to park. In my opinion I didn't perform a U-turn I just turned to go back in the direction I came in. I would have had to wait for the on coming traffic to stop to leave the position I had parked in.

What approach should I take to challenge this? I do think the signage is poor and I would like to hear the views of those on the technicalities of this PCN and any advise

You can see the no U-turn sign and this is essentially what you breached even by parking on opposite side. I don't think you have a defence. And you can see why turning there is not a great thing.

May be a PCN issue if anyone spots anything.
