       Hi all. i am hoping to see what possibilities are here. I have
       all the relevant pictures and letters in this imgur link:

       Just received this PCN of a 52m prohibition.
       I am quite old and ive always struggled with reacting to road
       traffic signs like this. especially now that they are increasing
       everywhere.
       I only realised the prohibition sign when i was about 4 car
       lengths away from the sign. however, i couldnt do much and
       couldnt reverse or anything as the road on the side was a no
       entry/one way. and there were cars oncoming. there wasnt much i
       could do, i wish the side road was not a 1 way so i could have
       reacted quicker.
       I also realised there was a sign before the actual sign warning
       me about a prohibtion in 50 yards. however, i did not see this
       as it was blue and didnt catch my attention.
       there is also a video of me driving straight through the
       prohibition, nothing special. but happy to share
       street view image link:

       Not only is there the advance sign you mention, but there is
       also a sign at the entrance to the street : -

       At the top of Dermody Road as you approach the "Flying
       Motorbike" signs, the street to the left is indeed No Entry, but
       the street to the right isn't and you could have turned into
       there.

       These blue signs are not traffic signs, and are very poor at
       indicating restrictions ahead, because what stranger would know
       street names. Best practice is to have a "geographic" sign
       showing the road layout ahead, with each street marked as
       restricted or the way for all traffic. However, they probably
       cost more so councils just get away with these blue signs.
       Councils know that >95% of people getting a PCN cough-up
       immediately.
       Were you following a satnav instructions ?

       thanks for your reply mate. I am sure i was following a satnav.
       and yes you are right about the above, and also about the blue
       signage.

       Go to the website as if to challenge and screenshot the payment
       status. Date of increase and how much.

       Hi mate, im having trouble with imgur and posting image here
       however, it says "your pcn is at discount stage" And "the amount
       outstanding for your pcn is currently £80, please pay now to
       avoid increase to £160"

       Collateral challenge
       A PCN issued under the 2003 act cannot possibly act as Notice to
       Owner.
       Furthermore, there is a whole passage on the PCN/Notice to Owner
       (sic) which
       contains information concerning the 56 days period in which to
       respond which clearly
       is taken from parking law. So, it follows that this hybrid
       document should also
       contain grounds which belong to parking legislation. This
       non-statutory conflation
       plays fast and loose with the legislation(s). Any person with no
       such knowledge
       would be sent on a wild goose chase researching “Notice to
       Owner” etc. I believe this
       is the only London council which uses such confusing
       nomenclature.
       Warning signage
       This is inadequate. In other parts of the borough, two signs are
       erected on both sides of the road. Further the contents are
       meaningless.
       Website
       The amount outstanding on this PCN is £80.00 and will increase
       to £160.00 on Tue, 10 Jun 2025. However, this PCN currently has
       a discount, meaning you can pay at a reduced rate of £80.00.
       This discount expires on Tue, 10 Jun 2025
       The date is wrong. 14 days from date of PCN.
       I will draft later.
