Tower Hamlets, Code 51, failing to comply with a no entry
restriction, Rushmead Road

Hi everyone,
On the 30th August, I entered a one way road in the wrong
direction by accident. When I realized, I immediately reversed
out (there was no traffic behind me) and went down the other
road correctly.
I was really hoping the camera wouldn’t snap me as I only went a
few meters down before realizing.
The video doesn’t document me reversing but you can see that I
start to.

I know it’s a long shot but do I have any grounds to object this
PCN? Thank you very much in advance.

Location on Google maps (latest picture from 2025 has the no
entry signs covered but I'm pretty sure they were there, I was
just driving stressed and initially missed them. I'm getting my
friend to go and take pictures of the area to confirm):

Post the PCN, and only redact name and address. We need car reg
and PCN Number to view the video. Or you can post the video
yourself.

All pages of the PCN, pl.
IMO, that you then reversed goes to mitigation only and would
therefore be disregarded by an adjudicator. Therefore, you're
looking for technical/procedural arguments assuming that the NE
signs are clearly visible. At present the council is demanding
money for driving along a road. Why they can't include a photo
of the actual signs in the PCN baffles me.
When we see the full PCN we can begin to assess its statutory
compliance.

Pl check what you've posted, I think you've omitted a page and
duplicated another.
IMO, there is a major defect in the PCN, our member Hippocrates
is the guru with these.

Just had a look at the TRO for this street;
HTML https://store.traffweb.app/towerhamlets/documents/parkmap/sched/Wapping%20MT%20Con%20v3.pdf
Under 3. Restrictions it says;
"e) No Entry – No person shall cause a vehicle to proceed passed
a point in
any road or part of a road indicated as being No Entry to motor
vehicles
unless specified within the schedule to this Order."
Aside from misspelling past, it refers to the flying motorbike
sign, not the "no vehicular entry" sign (red circle with white
horizontal bar).
Asking the experts here, is this grounds for cancellation of the
PCN?

The Flying Motorbike sign means "No entry for motor vehicles"
and has come into widespread use where a No Entry sign was once
used with a qualifier plate below. As I understand it, theNo
Entry sign bars all traffic and cannot be qualified.
