I received a PCN today for entering a permit zone. I was totally unaware I had entered the permit zone. As there was no markings on the road and I was unaware I had entered a permit zone I parked my car there for 10 minutes.
Tracing the route that I took to get to Mansfield road, I note that there is a sign there however I argue that is not reasonable to have read the contents of the sign due to where it is placed. You are turning in from a busy junction (double decker busses and pedestrians). When driving past the sign it is also blocked by the blue sign in front.
Further to where my car was parked on Mansfield road there is a sign saying it is a permit area but please note when I got out my car I walked towards Beal road and there is no sign(I also wouldn’t have thought to look for any signs as I was unaware I was in a permit area)
Location - Mansfield Road Ilford - (51.5614026, 0.0677791)
