TFL PCN Code 46, 353-355 Eastern Avenue IG2 (e-taxi only Red
Route)

Hi All,
Hoping someone is able to advise. I was trying to charge my car
and the sat nav took me to 347-353 Eastern Avenue. I wasn't able
to charge at this location as the cable was too short and it
would mean I would have to face my car in the opposite way to
the dual carriageway. As I wasn't able to I left to find another
location. Surprisingly the video doesn't show me entering or
leaving the location.
I have discovered this particular location is for e-taxi only. I
am wondering if I have anything to appeal the PCN.

This could be interesting at the markings do not signify a RR It
will be quiet for a couple of days but we will want to have a
look at this IMO the PCN is incorrect

The obvious arguments are:
1) The sign is not facing traffic, so you had to stop to get out
and read the sign
2) The road markings do not indicate a red route restrictions,
it's just a taxi bay according to GSV.
I would just make a one line representation saying the
contravention did not occur and wait for the notice of
rejection, I'm happy to represent you at the tribunal but you
must appreciate this will mean the full penalty will be in play.

I went back to the location today and took a picture. The road
markings have faded but there is a sign on a post. Does this
change anything?

No it is a no stopping restriction you have been cited, so the
sign must face oncoming traffic else you must stop to read it.
on top of that the must line bays in red a yellow marking is not
red route. so they should have cited stopped on a taxi rank
Follow Cp's advice, let him represent you at tribunal and your
chance of winning is up in the 90% range

I was advised to send the following and my appeal was accepted
and PCN cancelled.
Thank you everyone for your input.
---
In the dark I spotted the bay with EV charging equipment, I
stopped, got out of the vehicle but found that the charging
equipment was incompatible. I also noted that it was a Red Route
bay. This took no time at all and I was back in the vehicle
within a minute and waiting to move off.
My case accords with that of Mr Simon Wright - v - NEPP - Essex
County Council (Case number:ID00131-1812) in that a brief but
reasonable time is allowed to read signs that impose stopping
restrictions.
I therefore request the Authority cancel PCN number??? on this
basis.
