I received a PCN for a prohibited turn near Ruislip the other day, after coming out of a shopping complex.

Here is the PCN (PDF):

However this shows part of the story, the council video only shows the turning maneuvre off Victoria Road. I had in fact just come out of the signal at a T-junction a few meters before, with the sign being only a few meters after the turn.

This seems well signposted and was about to head off on their website and pay. I went to check my dashcam footage as to why I missed and feels indeed positioned way too near the junction to spot after turning left.

I did perform the turn but aside of not being up to date with the latest traffic sign position rules, it does not seem reasonably placed for someone to spot after turning left. I looked right to check oncoming traffic as I came out of the signal, then I looked left in the distance for oncoming traffic on the opposite side, before turning. Completely missing the no-turn sign, which may appear well positioned and lit if just watching this video with hindsight. This is the only sign you can see, the one on the left is obscured before coming off the signals.

Is it worth making representations?

I am on day 8 of the 14 day reduced charge period. Many thanks
