PCN from Haringey council for driving on a restricted road

Hi, I got a PCN for driving on La Rose Lane in Haringey where
cars are not allowed (the PCN and screenshot from the council
website attached). I am from Redbridge and not familiar with
roads like these and I was following instructions on google maps
which told me to go through the road. I would like to know if I
have any grounds for appeal. Many thanks

A shame as they have now clearly fixed a wording problem.
Please show all pages of the PCN. And redact your address and
name but leave the PCN and VRM details.

Were there any advanced warning signs?

Oh dear, yet another satnav-assisted PCN ! It is fatal to just
blindly follow instructions from these devices in London where
there are hundreds of council traps to catch you out. Did you
not understand the meaning of the two "Flying Motorbike" signs ?
Very difficult to get these cancelled. If there are no advance
signs, then you might be in with a chance, but we can't see if
there are any, because GSV is too out-of-date, so you'd need to
do some leg-work with a camera.
Alternative is a fatal error on the PCN making it void, but
Hippocrates has put that one to bed, I'm afraid. We point out
PCN errors, but it only works for so long if the council are
pro-active on these things.

And, he didn't even make one of his crazy videos -they worked it
out for themselves. ::)

No unfortunately I never came across this sign before, I was
wondering what the sign was and was mistakenly reassured by the
car going in front of me :-(
