I've drafted this for my appeal to the adjudicator - does anyone have any comments or suggestions before I send it in?
"I am appealing TfL’s decision to reject my appeal on the following grounds:
TfL’s response is inappropriate as it relies upon an assumption on their part that the driver of a vehicle will always know where the ULEZ enforcement zones are situated in relation to their current location. This is plainly illogical, and is all the more inappropriate in this case, given the fact that, as I have already stated to them, I had lost my bearings and didn’t know which road I was on as I approached and then entered the charging zone.
I reiterate my view that the signage was problematic as one sign was placed too high up on the post to be easily read (see image) particularly when approached from an oblique angle, as was the case when I approached the junction with Sheepbarn Lane and Skidhill Lane where the entry point to the charging zone is situated. The other sign at the junction not only points away from Skidhill Lane (see image) but is also some distance from the road and would therefore have been impossible for me to see as I approached the junction from Skidhill Lane (see image). The junction with Sheepbarn Lane and Skidhill Lane is a busy one and it is hazardous to be both checking for traffic and trying to check for ULEZ warning signs which are poorly located and very difficult, if not impossible to see.
I would also like to draw the adjudicator's attention to the fact that there was no ‘type D’ signage on Skidhill Lane which would have alerted me to the fact that I was approaching the charging zone had it been installed there."
