Title: Re: PCN Newham London 52m prohibition Royal Albert Way E16 / Gallions Roundabout

This location is very challengeable, but you must be prepared to stand your ground and take the council to London Tribunals as they will never give way, they love the money so much. Several cases have won at London Tribunals here, but of course you must risk the full PCN amount.

The signage only appears at the restricted times and at other times shows a 40 mph speed limit. None of the direction signs shows anything about the restriction. The council have put up some signs that say "camera enforcement" but enforcement of what they don't say.

HOwever, we do have some posting rules on this forum, so please reaD this and update your thread accordingly

Title: PCN Newham London 52m prohibition Royal Albert Way E16 / Gallions Roundabout
Post by: 1DriveSafe on March 21, 2026, 02:48:42 pm

Hi All,

I just received this PCN today that I have failed to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicles(motor vehicles). I checked the time and date of the event and it was when i picked up my 17 year old son and his classmates at Gallions Reach(Heavenly Desserts) during a Ramadan evening. I live in Newham and have always used that route to go home almost every Sunday afternoon(Tesco food shopping mainly). I have never seen that signage of it as restricted to motor vehicles.
It is just second nature for me to use the same route each time I come from Gallions Reach. I am verty surprised and saddened to say the least of getting a PCN. Please advise if I can challenge the PCN and how?

regards,
