Sheffield - Furnival Gate - Buslane 34j, video captures instant
U-turn out of the lane

Old Pepipoo member here.
I got lost in this area late at night, video shows me reversing
a little to get back on the road.
I realise as I've moved forward I'm driving though a bus gate
and do an immediate U-turn within just a few meters, which is
also shown in the video.
I'm hoping the demonstrable evidence and a well worded response
may be enough to get this cancelled, please could someone help
with reps?
Thanks

Why at the start of the video can we see you reversing and
turning into the bus gate? Did you just see the one-way
restriction on Pinstone Street a bit too late and you didn't
want to go round the block?
Also please upload the remaining pages of the PCN, you never
know there might be errors in the small print.

Yes you get stuck in a one way that takes you all through the
city centre, there is no going round the block.
My friend in the car pointed out the bus gate after I'd already
started moving over it so I did a U-turn to try an avoid this
situation.
Here's the reverse

The principal order is The Sheffield City Council (Bus Priority)
(Consolidation) Order 1991
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Y-pdTyzS67QZFfYS5MOexdd_pqlFgRC/view,<br
/>but I'll need to ask for the relevant amending orders.
In the meantime I suggest you draft a representation based on
the narrative you've provided so far, and we'll tidy it up for
you. Given it's very fact specific, it'll be easier if the first
draft comes from you, because you were there.

How's this?
I am writing to appeal a recent penalty charge notice received
for briefly passing through a bus gate before an immediate
U-turn.
The incident occurred on a road the driver does not regularly
travel, and their momentary lapse was not an attempt to exploit
the bus gate. This unintended mistake while navigating
unfamiliar road is evidenced by the video captured in which my
vehicle can initially be seen reversing, after mistakenly
turning left into the one way system on Pinstone Street. After
reversing back to correct my direction of travel my vehicle was
already impossibly positioned to avoid the bus gate. With the
majority of my concentration on trying to navigate to my
destination whilst avoiding the busy Saturday taxi traffic of
the town centre, I unintentionally crossed the boundary before
realising my mistake. As evidenced by the video, I promptly
U-turned at the earliest possible opportunity so as to avoid any
unpermitted forward travel.
The incursion into the bus gate was therefore on a de-minimis
basis, with no disruption to traffic flow or safety -
furthermore, there was no intention to gain any advantage over
any other motorist.
Considering the minimal nature of the infringement and evidence
of compliance at the earliest opportunity still within the
camera's field of view, I respectfully request your discretion
in cancelling the fine.

Thread title refers to Bus Gate.
PCN title refers to Bus Lane.
Cited legislation is TMA?
I'm confused!

I thought they were essentially the same so used the words
interchangeably, I've updated all instances of "lane" to "gate"
The writing on the road indicates bus gate but the PCN is a 34J
bus lane.
Have they issued an invalid mismatching PCN?

No, bus gates are enforced as bus lanes, so the PCN is correct.
