Free Traffic Legal Advice

I received a PCN the other day for performing a prohibited turn (no right turn) off New Broadway into Longfield Avenue in the London Borough of Ealing. https://maps.app.goo.gl/h7GATbxn1hf39wX77.

There is a no right turn sign (which I now notice) but there's a bunch of other random signs and street furniture in that area I didn't take it in. I travel down that road often and there's a dozen other left and right turns turns travelling west bound within 1 mile which are allowed so it didn't cross my mind that a right turn up Longfield Avenue would not be allowed.

I'm aware that I probably won't win but London Boroughs pull this crap all the time and charge huge amounts for relatively minor infringements. So if they're going to extort money out of me I'd rather make them work for it.

Does anyone have any advice for my appeal? Link to PCN https://imgur.com/a/mYJii5N

Thanks!

Any advice? I have 1 more day to accept the discounted rate.

Well, first off, you need to be a bit more prompt in coming on here as all the guys post on here pro bonoand have other jobs. What you could do is ring TfL and ask for the video. This comes as a DVD in the post and they will freeze the enforcement process for 2 weeks. This will give a chance for us to investigate. Make sure TfL commit to maintaining the discount whilst you wait for the DVD.

I think we've seen this one before, but I don't think it was successful. However, our administrator, cp8759 can tell you more about a technical appeal based on their PCN content which is successful, I believe.

OP, for accuracy the discount lasts until 12 June.

In your direction of travel, GSV(10 months) shows three advanced signs. The first is for information and comprises words alone with a colour palette indistinguishable from adjacent banners, the second contains a diagram and a distance(20yds) while the third is regulatory. The second and third are situated on the nearside of the road(with respect to your direction of travel) and are clear of trees and other paraphernalia which might obscure a motorist's view. The first one could be obscured by a tree, but not the second and certainly not the regulatory sign.

What interests me is the wording of the first sign: 'No right turn Uxbridge Road into Longfield Ave.' The PCN states 'New Broadway/Longfield Ave.'. Is the turn in New Broadway or Uxbridge?
