Lambeth, code 53j, failing to comply with a restriction on vehic
les entering a p
By: msym Date: December 23, 2025, 10:58 am
---------------------------------------------------------
PCN: LJ35493793
On Friday 5th December I was returning home from school drop by
car. Due to traffic, I took a road that I usually take. As I
turned to Rosendale road (from Lovelace rd) I realised there was
a sign for a time-based restriction that the road is for
cyclists and pedestrians only between b:15-9:15. I passed this
road at 8:52 (as per the PCN).
I don’t really know when this sign was there and if they changed
the time window but I only noticed it with the blink of my eye
after I have turned.
For transparency, I looked into google maps and there was a sign
in Lovelace road on the restriction but I did not see when I was
driving past it.
I would like to ask if I have any real basis of challenging
this. Following are my arguments.
The photo/video evidence shows that after I turned left at the
junction I entered the restricted area and there was a sign
there. The sign was after I had turned with no way of changing
direction. As such I proceeded. Although I did spot a sign, I
was not able to read it properly as I had already started to
turn left.
Sign is incorrectly positioned. While driving, its not possible
to read the time window without impairing my drive ability. If
the sign was placed before the turn when I had stopped to check
for traffic then I would have been able to read and interpret
the sign.
Although not a resident of the specific area, this is a road
that I typically commute to go home. It is not fair for only the
residents of this road to be exempt but not others in the
vicinity. Doing so it means that I need to elongate my driving
significantly to be able to park close to home.
For further context. The car is leased and I received this PCN
via the leasing company.

Well, before it is even worth glancing at the circumstances and
the PCN, you must first tell us what the lease company's
conditions and proactices are for dealing with PCNs and Notices
to Owner.
Reason is that under the decriminalised legislation for parking
and traffic offences, the owner has legal responsibility for
them not you. They will probably give you a load of tosh about
them allowing you to appeal whilst meanwhile just paying it and
adding an admin fee on top.
So unless they give you a letter of authority to act on their
behalf to submit representations, or they submit reps to the
council giving your name and address as the hiring party on the
day of the alleged contravention, and you thne get a PCN with
your name and address on it, you can do nothing.

Thank you for your prompt response. Yes the leasing company has
transferred the responsibility to me. Please see references

Unfortunately they usually charge me £10 for every such
instance.
Kind regards,

Make sure that they do not pay the PCN, or it's game over. It's
too late today to look at the details of the contravention.

Yes thank you. I have emailed them saying as such. Actually i
had a similar issue in the past where they paid and i complained
that i was stripped from my right to challenge and then they
waived the fee.

Thank you for the response. What do you mean? Is this something
that I can use against them?

Hi Hippocrates, Happy new year.
I feel a bit daft as I am not sure what i am checking. I looked
into the payments webpage and shows the photos, the date of
contravention and amount. What is the basis of me challenging
this PCN?
Following link of website.

Apart from the payment website is there any other argument that
i could use in my challenge?
thank you for the support
