Free Traffic Legal Advice

I was driving a company vehicle at the time and so the charge is addressed to my employer, so posting that info may be a 'career limiting factor'.

The only defense i can see is that the sign posted is not correctly as clearly shown in the legislation as i mentioned, both signs do exist in earlier pre amended SI's, but each sign has a different meaning e.g. It is 'prohibited to enter' and then if followed you cannot keep left anyway as your vehicle wouldn't fit, noted also that if you attempted to squeeze thru they have a charge code for damaging the road junction also in the TMO, seems nicely stitched up process.

Thank you for the advice.

Hello, I am not overly knowledgeable on TMO's (Traffic Management Orders) and need some pointers.

I received a ticket for not keeping left, where the council have reduced the width down to a narrow lane for cars and kept a larger single lane one for buses/HGV's, my vehicle could not possibly fit in that lane without damaging it (Land cruiser). So, sign reads according to the traffic signs regs as 'prohibited entry if over size' from top to bottom, then 'keep left'. IIRC according to the Highway code as i driver i must deal with the signage in the order they appear, so width, then keep left, right?

I have a HGV licence, so I read more signage than most. The offence on their charge is 'Not keeping left'.

The thing that I have found is that the width limit was in IMPERIAL only, so I stopped momentarily as I couldn't work out what that meant in METRIC. My understanding was that the Gov told councils to change all the signage to DUAL measurements back in 2015, despite accepting Metric back in 1965! So, the signage is old/wrong/confusing.

I have been sent an invite to do a teams call with the 'Parking Adjudicator' next week and got the councils prosecution bundle. I think that the TMO is their proof that they can prosecute for offences, and reading the date of issue and amendment, was the day before the 'offence' not sure if that is significant, but it seems that they can change this document at anytime they please and yet it doesn't appear on any publicly accessible site from searching google.

Any advice would be greatly appriciated.
