Redbridge PCN - entered a pedestrian zone - Sydney Road

Same location as paulc156 and as previously appealed by shah123.
I turned left on this occasion into Sydney road. Completely
missed the signage, realised later this was just because of the
height and positioning.

Any advice appreciated. Thank you!

The height of these signs is really quite unbelievable. There
has to be doubt whether a motorist can even read the text below
the Flying Motorbike sign. The text must be getting on for 3
metres above pavement level. This really needs to be presented
to an adjudicator. For me these signs totally fail the adequacy
test on height alone !

There is a fair chance of winning on the hight of the signage
rendering it unreadable

Should I go with a very simple informal representation then, as
follows?
'The height of the signs that I passed marking the start of the
pedestrian zone are excessively high and the positioning
irregular. It is highly unlikely that a motorist turning off the
high road onto this street would be able to read them. This was
the case for myself when I turned into the side street - I did
not even notice the signs due to their excessive height. Thus, I
would ask that you cancel this PCN and also conduct a full
review into the height and positioning of these signs.'

Seems OK to me. Anything else we should be aware of ? Have you
looked at their video ?

I seriously advise using the information in my first link in my
profile as the PCN is invalid since it is missing mandatory
information.

I don't think so. Video is nothing special -

IMO, the adequacy of signage refers to the totality of signage,
not just the entry signs. OP, are there any advance signs
warning of this restriction?

As per usual, the signage is illegible.
