Southwark 50r - prohibited right turn - Lower Road Junction
Neptune Street

Hi all,
Hope you can help me. Just got back from abroad and was
surprised to receive this in the post. It says online I can
still pay £80 by Tuesday 17th June 2025. I see that
[member=24]Hippocrates[/member] has beaten this PCN before here
but I'm not sure how -

I haven't driven in London in years but this to me seems like a
very chaotic junction. I was coming from across - Ann moss way.
I looked through my dashcam footage (bear in mind the dashcam
footage is brighter than real life and positioned higher on the
windscreen). It's very dark a 23.13pm at night. Approaching the
junction - the No right turn sign on the right side gets blocked
by 3 other signs and trees and then I had to observe cyclists
both ways. The sign also gets blocked by high vehicles. After I
entered I had to avoid the bus lane. Then I looked right to read
the Neptune street Controlled Sign to make sure I could enter so
missed the no right turn sign on the left. I did briefly glimpse
at it and thought it was no right turn for buses up ahead later.
In the end, after entering I decided to just do a 3 point turn
and went out again. I have attached screenshots from my dashcam
as well as the signage is slightly different to google street
view.

Thank you in advance for your help. Happy to buy you coffee!
Many thanks!

The London Tribunals case number isn't on that link. but it is a
'technical' appeal based on council mismanagement of the
enforcement process, and in this case, a fatal error of content
in a PCN. However, this may have been corrected now, so please
post all sides of the PCN so it can be checked.
I don't think you have any strong appeal argument based on
signage, because there are two signs, and you say in your
narrative that you did see one of them.
I'm puzzled that you have posted extracts from your dashcam
showing the signage when exiting Neptune St. You turned right
into Neptune Street, so they are surely irrelevant. Have you got
dashcam content of your approach and right-turn ?

Hiya, thanks for the prompt reply! Apologies I should've been
clearer.
The dashcam from top to bottom is me from the start - exiting
Ann moss way > turning left into Lower road > then Right into
Neptune Road.
If the Left side No right turn sign had remained on the Bus lane
sign like it's shown on Google Street View I would've
immediately understood and not turned right. But as you can see
when I exit ann moss way > the Right Side no right turn sign on
Lower junction road are had to see and easily obscured by vans,
especially at 11pm at night.
But the way that they have moved the Left side No Right turn
sign at the junction separated by a bus lane - I assumed it was
for the later junction ahead or related to the buses. As I was
already looking into Neptune Street to read the sign whether I
can enter the controlled zone sign. In the end I wasn't sure so
as soon as I entered Neptune street I did a 3 point turn and
came back out again.
Would it be worth appealing? Or would that make me miss out on
paying the £80 half price amount?
Here are the rest of the PCN:

Just received a reply that they've rejected my Representation.
It's just a standard letter - doesn't really counter any of the
defences I put forth. Not sure how to proceed from here? Thank
you.

I see - can i ask what percentage chance i will win a tribunal?
I can't really afford to pay £240 if i lose. And i don't really
understand how to defend in terms of the charge certificate
though. Does that error in the pcn makes it completely invalid?
Ive read previous posts on the topic but still not really clear
on the matter. Is there any article/law you could point me to so
i can better defend myself in the tribunal?
Thank you.
