I was travelling South on North Street Barking and turned left into East Street which immediately became a pedestrian zone (there were no signs to not turn left). I realised what I had done and turned around, but I turned around just past the signs (about 20m) therefore I entered the pedestrian zone. There was a lorry parked immediately on the right hence I had to go slightly into the zone to turn around safely.
I appealed the case but they said it is not possible to undo a contravention once committed and this contravention is complete once the vehicle passes the signs.
I would like to get peoples opinions on if I have grounds for appeal. It would have been unsafe for me to immediately stop at the signs so yes I did move into the pedestrian zone, but purely to turn around safely and leave immediately. There was no notification it was a pedestrian zone prior to the end of the road.
