Why is this a Pedestrian and Cycle Zone?
'pedestrian and cycle zone”
an area—
(a)
which has been laid out to improve amenity for pedestrians [F14, drivers of electric scooters being used in a trial] and cyclists; and
(b)
to which the entry of vehicles, except [F15electric scooters being used in a trial and] pedal cycles, is prohibited or restricted
It's a road without any improvements 'laid out' that I can see.

Yet again, we see the restriction signs at an absurd height, totally out of the motorists line of sight if safe driving is to be achieved. Video shows what looks like a right turn into the restriction, is this correct ?If so, there should be an advance warning on that street.
GSV is too out-of-date to show the signs, so if you can, go back with a camera, (phone camera OK), and see if there is an advance warning sign. The other aspect is the absurd height of these signs, so we could do with a measure of the height of the sign. There seems to be some sort of collective madness in London councils with these signs at the moment; either this, or its devious way of making sure the signs are continually passed so the council get loads of money from PCN penalty charges.
Thanks. He has to go back to the area soon. I’ve suggested he takes some pictures and check for a sign

My son has, once again, fallen foul of one of these and would very much appreciate it if some wise and kind soul could give the PCN the once over to see if there is any viable grounds for appeal. Many thanks in advance
