Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi everyone,

I've received a Transport for London PCN for an alleged prohibited right turn and would appreciate any advice before I decide whether to pay or challenge it.

PCN Details

Authority: Transport for London (TfL)
PCN Number: GX37552871
Contravention Code: 50R
Alleged Contravention: Performing a prohibited right turn
Location: Grosvenor Road / Chelsea Bridge Road
Date of Contravention: 02/07/2026
Time: 15:19
Date of Notice: 10/07/2026
Penalty: £160 (£80 if paid within the 14-day discount period)

The PCN states that the alleged contravention was recorded by camera.

At this stage I haven't made any representations or contacted TfL.

I had a look at the junction on Google Street View and noticed that the "No Right Turn" prohibition appears to be displayed on the traffic lights at the junction  with an exception for local buses (there are no other signs before). However, the road markings appear to include a right-turn lane/arrow.

I'd be grateful if anyone could review the PCN and let me know if there are any potential grounds of appeal.

Hi Incandescent,

Thanks.

I've now uploaded:

Notice of Rejection: https://imgpile.com/p/AvGexzE
Charge Certificate https://imgpile.com/p/YsFbxsY
Cancellation letter for the other PCN: https://imgpile.com/p/qLIiXKG

As I mentioned earlier, I misunderstood the Notice of Rejection and incorrectly thought a Notice to Owner would follow, so I did not appeal to London Tribunals within the 28-day period.

Since receiving the Charge Certificate, I have spoken to London Tribunals and TEC.

I'd appreciate any advice on what my next step should be.

Hi Hippocrates,

Quick update on my case.

I challenged both PCNs using the arguments discussed here and using the wording you suggested.

Outcome:
PCN HZ95339273 (10:24) → Cancelled (discretion)
PCN HZ95348988 (10:23) → Rejected

It seems inconsistent to cancel one PCN but enforce the other when both arise from the same continuous sequence of events.

Any advice?

Hi, so isn't there a minimum that the car can overhang? Only the right tire is slightly over the dividing line.

Hi all,

I’ve received a PCN from Islington Council and would really appreciate some guidance before I do anything further.

PCN details:

PCN number: IZ38803752

Contravention code: 62 – Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any part of a road other than a carriageway

Location: Liverpool Road [Zone B]

Date of issue: 16/02/2026

I was parked on what I understand to be a private road. The allegation is that one or more wheels were on or over the footpath.

I want to understand whether a contravention can even occur in these circumstances. As far as I am aware, both the road and the footpath are private land.

I have parked here many times before without any issue. This is the first time I’ve received a PCN at this location. I don’t know whether the allegation is that one of my wheels was slightly over the edge, but even if that were the case, I am unsure how this applies if the land is private.

Motorcycles and cars park here constantly in a similar manner.

How can I establish whether the road and footway are adopted highway or genuinely private land? What evidence would I need to prove this?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

They had no grounds and no evidence to prove the contrary...

"My decision  A vehicle can only be parked in an electric bay whilst charging and the vehicle must be moved as soon as the process is finished. I have reconsidered the circumstances and confirm that the PCN has been cancelled on this occasion"

Hi HC Andersen,

I hope you are well.

Just checking to see if you had any further comments.. I wanted to understand If I and how I can challenge this PCN. Thanks.
