Hi All,
Received a ticket but signage is ambiguous as huge right arrow markings on road and then signage at traffic light saying no right turn, but assumed this was for cycle lane.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3isw7jc51edo4tw/20230620_174741.jpg?dl=0This was recognised and ALLOWED at appeal:
"2230078176
Contravention location SOUTHWARK PARK RD / JAMAICA RD
Penalty amount GBP 160.00
Contravention Performing a prohibited turn
Referral date
Decision Date 06 Mar 2023
Adjudicator Andrew Harman
Appeal decision Appeal allowed
Direction cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
Reasons The contravention alleged in these proceedings is that this vehicle performed a prohibited right turn at the junction of Southwark Park Road with Jamaica Road. Upon the appellant raising the issue of signage. There is a right turn arrow marked within a cycle lane located after traffic lights at this junction which I accept could only be taken to apply to cycles but there is also a right turn arrow marked on the carriageway prior to the traffic lights. That being so I am not satisfied that signage/markings at this junction when taken as a whole are sufficiently clear and unambiguous to warn motorists of this prohibition and I accordingly find that the contravention has not been proved."
Any other advice please?
