Waltham Forest - 53c - Restriction on vehicles entering zone

PCN on drive

I was driving on Higham Hill Road E17 (from Billet Road side) and turned right onto St Andrews Road E17.
I do not recall any signage, I will go back to check again. Google Maps does not show any signs facing me

although on the other side, travelling towards Billet Road on Higham Hill E17 and turning left, there are signs.

I have seen a few similar scenarios and PCN appeal drafts, is there anything I should consider?

The signs are there on latest GSV view of October 2024, but are closed, either because the traffic order was not yet ready, or they close the signs out of school terms. If you look at your photos, you can see the line of the vertical hinge.

You turned right into the restriction.  I see no advance warning signs present. Essentially, you have to prove the signage is "inadequate".  Councils have a duty under Regulation 18 of The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 to place adequate signage to announce a restrition to motorists. Problem is this is subjective, your 'inadequate' is the council's 'adequate', so you can only get an independent view from a London Tribunals adjudicator, who will decide one way or the other.

Thanks

Is there any evidence I need to prepare to counter the adequate claims?

or as first step just prepare an informal appeal explaining inadequate signage / as seen on evidence footage of pedestrians crossing that I had to be aware of

and with traffic pressure to make turning
