HI
I recently received a PCN for making a U-turn in a prohibited location.
The turn was made on the A10 just after crossing the junction with Broad Lane (to the right) and West Green Road (to the left) – see attached Google Maps link for the exact spot.
It seems that quite recently a new sign was put up there prohibiting U-turns for 140 yards after the junction. Unfortunately, I did not notice it at the time (photo of the sign attached).
My questions are:
Is there any valid basis to challenge this PCN?
Could the fact that the restriction/sign is relatively new and I was not aware of its introduction be a relevant argument?
Does anyone have information on successful challenges or cancellations of a similar PCN at this location?
I have attached the following documents for reference:
Copy of the PCN
Google Maps location link
Photo of the sign
Link to a previous query to TfL about this restriction, along with the official decision document relating to this sign.

Thank you very much in advance.
