Lewisham 'Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types
of vehicle' Leahurst Rd Westbound

Newbie here,
Just received a PCN for driving westbound on Leahurst rd in
Hither Green. A notoriuos junction it seems.
I came in from Hither Green Lane down Ennersdale rd to pick up
my partner at Hither Green station at midnight after the trains
were diverted. There was nobody on the streets, I wasn't aware
of any driving restrictions, in fact there aren't any
restrictions coming in from that direction but going back the
same way, there are.
Going back, I needless to say, didn't notice anything, it looks
like every other suburban street in the area with cars parked on
both sides of the street and it being very late and dark,
nothing stood out as unusual and why would anyone assume you
can't drive back the way you came unless there was a 'no entry'
sign or '1 way street' sign. The sign only appears once you are
actually upon it, so there is nowhere to turn around and go
back.
I'm not sure if the sign has been changed since previous cases
have been appealed so unsure of the probability of winning an
appeal?
Any advice much appreciated.

Wrong sub-forum - it's not criminal. I'll ask a mod to move it.

As I recall we've seen this one several times, and there were
some wins at London Tribunals, centreing on adequacy of signage.
These are the signs you passed on your outward journey, (GSV
June 2025).

But unfortunately GSV is only up to 2018 once those signs are
passed. They are, no doubt, the usual Flying Motorbike signs. A
location like this really does need advance warning signs, so to
give best advice, we need to see what signs are on approach and
also what the actual signs are. The video doesn't show them
properly as one can see, in fact, you could use that as a point
in your reps.

Have added pics from today of the junction. Seems the signs are
there, I ignored them assuming they were width restrictions and
was paying attention to the road and the upcoming left turn and
speaking to my partner who I'd just picked up. I guess its a
fruitless exercise trying to win this one?

Well, it's certainly not a slam-dunk win situation. There may
be a 'technical' appeal based on council mismanagement of the
enforcement process, but I'll leave that to Hippocrates. Note
that such appeals are inevitably dealt with at London Tribunals
with the full PCN penalty in play.
