Bus Gate Appeal
« on: »
I approached a well known bus gate trap today and only noticed as I was driving through the bus gate that I had done so.

I think the signage is highly inadequate as there is only one warning sign 120m before the bus gate that there is a width restriction (NOT a bus gate) and some of the road markings / arrows leading up to the bus gate are faded.

I only noticed too late what I was meant to do in part because there was so much glare on one of the road signs on the approach, and in part because there is absolutely no warning what is about to happen (there is a warning of a width restriction but not a bus gate)

I have attached the evidence below. Am I likely to win?

There is also a "Keep Right" sign on the bollard you passed on the left.

What did you mean by "well known"? By you?

Harrow I bet. Camrose Avenue.

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.

This is Camrose Avenue in Harrow. The bollards on the right looked too narrow - I only noticed the road markings that read bus gate as I drove over it

To be clear I have actually not gotten the PCN yet, but I am now expecting it and when I say well known, I googled the area after and there is a BBC article about it - but not well known to me
