Ealing, alleged traffic contravention of 51J, failure to comply
with a no entry restriction, Manor Road

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello
Received a PCN from Ealing Council. I apparently entered a no
entry restricted road. Funnily enough, I did do a U Turn and
exit the road. I think, if I recall correctly, there were
roadworks happening on Argyle Road near West Ealing station and
they had completely blocked it off. I turned right onto Manor
Road trying to work out if I could go around but realised I
couldn't and did a U Turn and came out.
There were other vehicles dropping people off outside the
station so didn't realise I wasn't supposed to enter. In fact,
the first picture they show on the PCN is me leaving the road.
I've attached the PCN here:

Do let me know if any issues with access.
I have requested to review the evidence via viewmypcn.co.uk but
haven't seen it yet at the time of writing. It doesn't seem to
open on my PC or my mobile. Have tried different browsers etc as
well...
Would be grateful for any advice on whether I could appeal this
as it was done out of genuine ignorance...

GSV is unfortunately out-of-date as far as I can see. I suspect
the building works were part of a rejig for the station that
made it one-way only.
If you're local, some photos would be useful, one showing the
approach for a RH turn and one for a LH turn, plus the entry to
the street. We need to see what signs are in place.

Don't bother ! The video is now online, I suggest you look at
it on the Ealing webpages. It shows you driving past two No
Entry signs, albeit these are temporary, I think they are still
legal signs.

So i think this is where the confusion lies. You see the car
that I stopped for to let past? I had entered Manor Road from
that side like them. Realised as I went down the road that there
wont be a way around for me to get to my destination. Hence the
U turn and me driving back out.
I didnt see those signs but admittedly they dont make sense
because that's the only way in and out of Manor Road. If you
follow Manor Road you'll end up near Drayton Manor High School
which is far from my destination.
So not sure how they could block motorists from exiting the road
unless there was a diversion route to follow which I dont recall
seeing...

Whether the contextual road configuration is complex or not, a
driver must comply with signs. In this case, the video shows a
clear No Entry for Vehicular Traffic sign which was there to be
seen. I suggest you concentrate on the sign and PCN. Others are
more expert on the substantive issue, but in my mind the
following questions arise:
1. Is there a traffic order provision which underpins the sign?
1.—(1) The sign must only be placed to indicate the effect of an
Act, order, regulation, bylaw, resolution or notice which
prohibits or restricts the use of the road by traffic.
2. If not and it is a Schedule 36 traffic sign then are the
contravention grounds correct and does the distinction make any
difference?
