Merton PCN 52J Abbey Road / High Path
DIR By: JUALI71

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I accidentally drove through this PCN in early July and have
just "lost" an informal appeal with Merton. I live a few miles
away and rarely drive this route so was not aware of the PCN
here that I think started in 2025.
Considering whether to take this further, my main grounds are:
1) the sign to the left was at least partially obscured by a
tree at that time; 2) the sign to the right is set way back from
the road and around the bend so out of the natural line of sight
3) once around the sharp bend you tend to focus on the width
restriction.
I sent lots of photos (am trying to work out how to upload them
here) but the Council have not mentioned them and the most
important one I uploaded (showing the tree obscuring the view
around the bend - lots of leaves in early July) they also seem
to have lost somehow. Merton council seem to tacitly acknowledge
that the sign to the left is not very visible because they argue
that the sign to the right is appropriate or preferable when
there is sharp bend.
Has anyone experience with LTN at this junction?
Thanks

The author needs to drop me a PM as I know the location and the
council rather well.
