can local councils issue pcn for red route offences

nortyboy

Received a fine from london borough tower hamlets through the post. was caught by one of these little smart cars with a cctv camera on it.

There are two roads no bus lanes involved or any other restrictions. One a little side street, which i was in and one major red route road (blackwall tunnel exit slip road). Where these two roads meet is a solid white line with signage stating buses only.

i am thinking along the line that no offence has been committed until i cross the solid white line. Which is then a red route offence which the local council has no responsibility.

Any thoughts you may have would be most welcome.
Many thanks
Steve.

Was this the same offence you posted in another thread?

This one?



If so, then the offence is failing to comply with a traffic regulation order by virtue of contravening a sign (actually, a clear pair of signs, according to the picture). The road markings on that occasion are neither here nor there.

Where is the solid white line you mention (twice)?

Not visible on the PCN pic nor on Google Street View.
