Its never a good idea to rely on, and, more importantly, obey satnav instructions without keeping a weather eye for signs. Its a very common reason for threads on this forum. I call them "satnav-assisted PCNs"

Here's the location. Prominent "No Right Turn" signs, but we need to see the PCN at your earliest convenience, please.

Title: TFL Contravention 50r Performing Prohibited Turn
Post by: WHEELS on October 25, 2025, 11:32:03 am

Hello folks

This contravention happened at night & whilst using iPhone maps satnav. It was the middle of London & I was following the instructions.

I have no access to a laptop at present, but I shall do my best to upload info with my phone, not ideal, but best I can do right now.

The PCN states SOUTHWARK STREET W-BND JW SOUTHWARK BRIDGE ROAD SE1

Back story, my son kindly booked accommodation for me to attend his engagement party in London. As a disabled driver I have to drive to carry belongings etc in the car. It was to be a joyous event after some very traumatic months, bereavements & stress. Traffic was gridlocked, it was very dark. This PCN was my reward!

I will do my best to post the info received, despite being rubbish with technology.

TIA for comments. 🙏
