Free Traffic Legal Advice

I have a PCN and LOR from Cambridge CC for 'being in a bus lane'. While looking at street view for the umpteenth time to see if the signs were too high, I sent the view in the wrong direction and found Elm Street. That rang a bell and on looking, it appears in the Schedule to the Traffic Order which brought the Bus Gate in Emmanuel Road into existence.
In short, the TSO says that the Bus Gate starts at a point 27 metres North East of the Junction with Elm Street (quite how you establish a point 27 metres from something which is about 3 metres wide, I don't know - but we digress). Two screen shots accompany this post: one looks north east along Emmanuel Road and shows the bus gate - two small blue discs stuck up in the air, when drivers are studying the speedo to check 20 mph and looking out for pedestrians, cyclists, and in Cambridge, lunatics on electric scooters - all who know they have the Highway Code on their side.
Keep an eye on the RH post - it appears on the left of screenshot 2 which shows Elm Street. Thats never 27 Metres is it!

I have appealed on this basis amongst others, but would appreciate views please. esp if anyone thinks the council will have an answer

Sorry More detail needed
here is a link to the location - it should open showing a view to the north east along Emmanuel road Cambridge with the Bus Gate in full view. The junction with New Square which is shared with the Elm Street junction is on the very left.
that is important because the Traffic Order for Bus Gates in Cambridge states that the bus gate starts 27 metres North East from the junction with Elm Street and extends for 12 metres. Its in the Schedule at the end of the Traffic Order .pdf attached

Distances from junctions are measured from the extended kerb line: you draw an imaginary line from the pavement of Elm Street, as if it just continued without stopping, when this imaginary line intersects the extended kerb line of Emmanuel Road (i.e. the imaginary line that shows where the kerb of Emmanuel Road would be if there were no junction), that's where you start measuring from.

Maybe you're on to something, the bus gate does appear to be placed in the wrong location:



The bus gate should start on the northern side of the pedestrian crossing:



and it should extend for 12 metres from there, along the length shown below:



Something's gone wrong with your documents, you need to re-scan them as the resolution is really poor and they're all cropped. I suggest you do this from a computer rather than a phone, smartphones are great but there's a reason people use computers to do actual work (and you're basically being a solicitor for yourself, so use the right tools).

And I have just thought what to say: the vehicle is not in a bus lane at the point shown on the photo on the PCN.
the Video offered in the NOR is blank. The contravention did not occur
Does that stand up?

Here's the NoR:

















Would you like me to represent you at the tribunal, or are you happy doing it all yourself?

The important thing is to request a hearing, you should never go for a decision on the papers without a hearing.
