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.

on 18 March the appeal was rejected.

the letter does not consider there is absent signage on Higham Hill Road E17 (from direction I was travelling) but there is signage from opposite direction of travel for drivers looking ahead before making the turn.

Is it worth me proceeding to appeals, on the basis there was no sign head on, lack of adequate signage. main argument is, council has put other signs opposite side for drivers driving head on HIghams Hill

@Hippocrates @Incandescent

@Incandescent i went back and can confirm there are no signs on the main road I was on before I made the right turn

Additionally the sign is obstructed slightly due to another sign on the main road and a tree

CCTV images also shows pedestrians



I think should take it to next step. Would be grateful with any assistance

@Incandescent understood

And I should always request in person to explain my points and opportunity to answer any queries
