I'm of no use for your PCN troubles, but I just wanted to let you know that I personally think it would be a bit more helpful if you formatted your post towards something like this (https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/southwark-code-52m-failing-to-comply-w-prohibition-on-certain-vehicles-larcom-st) for others to answer. Not everyone here lives in Islington, let alone London. :-\

Title: ISLINGTON 50 R (Hornsey Road into Fairbridge Road)
Post by: drummerthorn on August 06, 2026, 11:22:27 am

Hello all,

I received a 50R right-turn PCN from Islington Council, but I'm questioning the legitimacy of the no-right-turn restriction.  It seems totally random. There is no bus/cycle lane, crossing of any kind, one-way system, traffic lights, or unusual flow of traffic (single lane in each direction). Yet, they're randomly penalising people for turning right. The no-right sign is in line with the road, which I'd argue is late! I know I'm chancing my mit here, but is there anything to argue about the legitimacy of the sign?

Many thanks in advance!
Ed :)
