I've received 2 PCN's for westminster bridge road bus lane (heading towards the bridge, b4 the roundabout). in pretty much the same place on the 15/10/09 and the 19/10/09.
I've been doing some reading online and I don't think the bus lane is compliant. I've got some photos of the area. the signs seem to be incorrectly placed, the measurements of the taper before the bus lan starts is 20 mtrs too short.
Here are some snaps of the area and snaps from the penalty notice:
The Bus Lane and signs at Westminster Bridge Rd
PCN 1 and the cctv camera photos
PCN 2 and the cctv camera photos
Obviously i'm appealing, but i should I appeal on the grounds of human error as such, (it was unavoidable as there was traffic backed up due to roadworks on the street and I only moved into the bus lane for about 10 m towards its end where there were no signs telling me no to?),
or,
do I go the whole hog and hit them with the above issues about the non compliant bus lane,
or both?
Could use some help thanks
