Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Hammersmith & Fulham - Code 52M Failing to comply with a motor vehicle prohibition - Sawley Rd Westbound
« on: Today at 03:33:13 pm »
Hi,
I'd really appreciate some help with a Moving Traffic PCN I received from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
PCN: HZ99622866
VRM: LJ68HDX
Contravention: Code 52M – Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (motor vehicles)
Location: RMV Sawley Rd Westbnd nr Jct Bloemfontein Rd
Date of Alleged Contravention: 20/06/2026
Time: 21:34
Date of Notice: 30/06/2026
Camera Operator: VA143
I genuinely didn't spot/notice the restriction sign when turning right from Bloemfontein Rd onto Sawley Rd.
I was wondering if I could argue for obscured signage for the following reasons:
1) Roadworks: Right next to/underneath the restriction sign pole, there was a temporary green roadworks barrier and a triangular roadworks sign. This completely cluttered the view and distracted from the regulatory signage.
2) Major emergency incident: This occurred at 21:34, right as there was unfortunately a fatal building fire happening on the next road. The entire area was heavily congested and filled with multiple fire engines/emergency services. (News report here: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jun/20/three-men-dead-after-west-london-building-fire). And the chaos/navigating around the emergency services had caused me to miss the restriction.

Thanks in advance!
