       PCN Ealing - Entering Pdestrian zone 53J - Oldfield Lane South

       Hello,
       Vehicle accidentally drove through a pedestrian zone, which,
       according to other forum posts, was only recently implemented in
       March. Since the signage is new, it can't be found on Google
       Maps but I have included the location regardless
       (
  HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/de1JSkz8doNJmcjv5).
       The sign at the
       entrance is positioned quite high and may not be immediately
       visible to drivers. On this occasion, it was also raining, which
       further affected visibility.
       As soon as the driver realised their mistake, they turned the
       car around at the roundabout ahead, as this was the safest place
       to complete the manoeuvre. Unfortunately, this is not shown in
       the footage, but by that point, the contravention had already
       occurred. The driver does not live locally, and this is the
       first PCN they have received for this situation.
       I can see that others on this forum have experienced the same
       issue, but I haven’t been able to find any clear outcomes. I
       understand it’s close to Christmas, but I would really
       appreciate a response as soon as possible, and would like to
       avoid having to pay the full £160 if possible.
       Thank you.

       Video shows you driving directly towards the signs with no
       hesitation at all. I have to say refuting the PCN will prove
       difficult. If you had been turning left into the restriction it
       would be much stronger. The signs are place rather too high up,
       so with the weather, I'd concentrate on sign height in
       combination with awful weather causing you you concentrate on
       the road ahead of you.
