Penalty Notice For Contravention 52M (only reversed slightly
into the no entry road) - Adelaide Road
DIR By: aquaman

Dear all
I hope you don’t mind me reaching out. I’ve recently received a
Penalty Charge Notice for contravention code 52m – Failing to
comply with a prohibition on motor vehicles, and I’m feeling
quite overwhelmed about what to do next. £80 pounds is a lot of
money that I could spend on my young family.
My wife went to meet her parents and reversed our car into a no
entry road (York Road) in Leyton as there is literally no space
elsewhere to the reverse the car due to all the recent road
changes they have made and her back tyres just literally crossed
the line and we got a parking ticket. Do we have any grounds to
appeal as just the back tyres crossed the line not the whole
car.

I would be grateful for any advice.
Many thanks

Ridiculous. That's not a contravention as whole vehicle didn't
go beyond the signs. And what's with those yellow lines? Here
the only area you backed into is the equivalent of a verge
between roads.

A ridiculous money-grubbing PCN from a venal and rapacious
council. If it were me, I'd take them to London Tribunals, but
it's your money. I would submit reps on the basis of the
contravention did not occur, as you were merely engaged in a
manoevre to turn your car around, as the council have now made
it extremely difficult to turn a vehicle around with the new
traffic layout. What a delivery van or a removals van does, I
hate to think !

For these types of alleged contraventions, is there a visible
demarcation line that must be [wholly/partially] crossed? and/or
will the corresponding TMO refer to e.g. double-yellow lines?

I think an adjudicator would throw this out on triviality
grounds but this is what the traffic order says - note 'enter...
within a 2.5 metre gap'.
Note: York Road is a dead end and has parking bays so reversing
out may have been the best way to turn around and obey the
second and third extracts from the experimental order.
But mind the gap!
--------
2. Prescribed Routes
2.1 No person shall cause or permit any motor vehicle to enter
or proceed in Adelaide Road, E10, within a 2.5 metre gap between
the intersection of the north eastern kerb line of York Road and
north western kerb line of Adelaide Road (outside No. 42
Adelaide Road), and the intersection of the south western kerb
line of York Road and south western kerb line of Adelaide Road
(outside No. 27 Adelaide Road).
2.4 No person shall cause or permit any motor vehicle:
(vi) travelling north-westbound in York Road, E10 between its
junctions with Ruckholt Road E10 and Adelaide Road E10 to enter
that section of Adelaide Road E10 north-west of the southeast
kerb line of Adelaide Road except to turn north-east into
Adelaide Road;
2.5 every person causing any vehicle to proceed:
v) in York Road E10 between its junctions with Ruckholt Road E10
and Adelaide Road E10, shall cause that vehicle on reaching its
junction with Adelaide Road E10 to turn right only;

In addition to the above responses with which I wholly agree:
1. See my first link in my profile re the PCN wording.
2. Please screenshot their website AS IF to make a
representation and report back.

Hi all,
Many thanks for your responses, I am very grateful. I was going
to mention the below, but if someone could kindly draft a better
response I would be very grateful.
The contravention has not occurred as I was merely doing a
maneuver as I have a large SUV vehicle and given the new road
layout as attached it is virtually impossible to reverse your
car as York road is a dead end and also as a bike shop which is
very busy during the day ( I will upload the new road layout) .
On this basis I would be grateful if you could cancel the
ticket.
thanks
Shaun

I should add my technical point too. Back later.
