Unless you've attended a Speed Awareness course in the last three years, you'll be offered the option of that or a fixed penalty.



For 35 in a 20?

I think this will more likely be a summons.

You bring up a good point. I haven’t been able to find any signage or road markings that clearly indicate where the 440-yard limit ends.


I drove along this road this morning and can confirm that, today, there are a succession of No U Turn signs with an ever decreasing number of yards plates until there is a No U Turns sign with an End plate. The approximate position of the End plate is here:

This seems to be about 440 yards.

i still think there was not enough of a gap for me to move over or stop safely

The gantries are designed so that they are visible from a minimum distance of 300m (roughly 10 seconds at 70mph).

If you know what your speed was (presumably much less than 70mph as there were lane closures) you will be able to work out the minimum time you would have been able to see the red X.

He also told us in generally in London U-turns are not allowed.

Your colleague has got it exactly the wrong way round. Generally, in London (as elsewhere), U-turns are allowed (unless signage indicates otherwise).
