Free Traffic Legal Advice

I received the same PCN on the 30/04 and decided to appeal it, i am going to court on the 23/07/24
on the basis of the following:

According to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (TSRGD 2016), traffic signs must be clear, visible, and in good condition to be enforceable. Without adequate proof of visibility, the enforcement of the PCN is not valid.

Furthermore, under the Traffic Management Act 2004, the burden of proof lies with the council to demonstrate that the signage was compliant and visible at the time of the contravention. The Google Maps images referenced by the council do not constitute real-time evidence and are therefore insufficient to establish the visibility of the signage on the date in question.

The fact remains, there is zero proof that the sign was visible on the date and time of the contravention

I hope the moderators can remove these posts i.e. responding to posts which are not part of this thread and have no bearing on the OP or their predicament.

But before they and perhaps this go, ipvaid you are on the wrong track. There are two separate issues in play at this junction:

A no left turn from Wimbledon Parkside into IPR; and
A separate HGV weight and PSV restriction on IGR itself.

The signs are not a pair. Indeed the ban on PSV in the second is odd given that 'local buses' are an exception to the first, which might raise issues regarding the restriction in 1, but IMO this can be examined without the confusion of 2.
