       LB Enfield code 52M – Failure to comply with the prohibition of
       motor vehicles at Montagu Gardens

       Hi
       I’d appreciate advice from those familiar with Enfield PCNs and
       contravention 52M.
       My brother received a PCN from the London Borough of Enfield for
       52M – Failure to comply with the prohibition of motor vehicles
       at Montagu Gardens N18 (ANPR).
       Date/time: 07/01/2026 at 21:19.
       This was my first time driving through this location, and it was
       dark. The approach appears to be a normal residential road, with
       parked cars and vehicles visible coming from the opposite
       direction. There is no physical barrier or clear advance
       indication of a prohibition.
       The “No motor vehicles” signs appear to be placed only at the
       pinch point and are side-mounted, competing with other signage
       (bollards, height restriction signs, etc.). By the time they are
       clearly visible, a driver is already committed with no realistic
       opportunity to turn back.
       I’ve attached a Google Street View image showing the approach.
       My questions:
       Are there reasonable grounds to challenge this PCN on signage
       adequacy/clarity, especially at night?
       Has anyone had success appealing this location?
       If I appeal, do I lose the discount?
       In practice, is it worth appealing or safer to pay the discount?
       Thanks in advance for any advice.

       You say your brother received PCN, but then imply you were
       driving? Keeper has to deal with / pay the PCN.
       You could have driven into the road, but would have needed to
       use the width restriction - any reason why not? Video doesn't
       seem to show any delays in making the decision to bypass the
       restriction.
       Many of these moving traffic conventions can be beaten at
       tribunal, but full penalty is in play - others will advise the
       chances of this one getting cancelled.

       PCN issues. 28 days to consider representations from the date of
       service. There are more  too. Have a look at any other Enfield
       case as I find the image rather small.
