my sad storey at same junction greenford. i even lost at adjudicators. it was before finding this forum which i came across and always seek help here. good luck.
Decision of rejection is below for ref only:
Adjudicator's Reasons
I have borne in mind the points made by Mr. ------ in his notice of appeal and accompanying
documents. I have also borne in mind his very helpful evidence alongside the evidence provided by
the enforcement authority (EA).
The burden of proving the contravention lies on the EA. The standard of proof is the balance of
probabilities.
There is no dispute that the appellant's vehicle, which was in the offside of two lanes approaching the
junction in question, did not turn right from that lane but, instead, drove straight ahead.
I find as follows, on the balance of probabilities.
To the offside of the offside lane immediately before the junction was a traffic island upon which was
mounted a traffic light assembly. Part of that traffic assembly was a blue 'right turn only' directional
arrow sign. It applied to traffic in the offside of the two lanes. Also, in the offside lane in which Mr.
_______'s vehicle was travelling there was a 'right turn' arrow road marking and text reading 'turn
right'. I find that the sign and the road marking would have been visible to a motorist in adequate time
to manoeuvre into the correct lane. Once in the offside lane, however, a motorist is required to turn
right.
I bear in mind the points made by Mr. ______ . I find, however, that there was in place on the
occasion in question signage of the prescribed kind that was adequate to inform road users of the
requirement to turn right from the offside lane at the junction.
In those circumstances I find the alleged contravention proved.
