Congestion Charge Trap.

Chomeur

If you drive down Gloucester Place in London, intending to turn right at Marylebone Road, you find when you get to Marylebone Road that you have to go straight across, you can't turn right. You could then go left, down Bickenhall Street, but that's not the way you want to go, and you can see a sign marking the start of the Congestion and ULEZ Zone straight ahead at the next junction. So you go to that, thinking you will turn right. At that point you can't go left and you can't go right either (into York Street), without entering the Congestion and ULEZ Zone. So you should do a U-turn in the middle of the street. Which is ridiculous.

I took this route, as advised by Waze. Waze told me to turn right onto York Street even though I don't have ULEZ compliant or C Charge Exempt selected in the app. I missed the signs at the entrance to York Street (relying on Waze and never imagining that the appropriate thing to do would be a U-turn), and have now been fined £80 twice over.

To me it just seems like a trap. Do you think I should challenge the fines?

If these are Council charges for going against a sign arrow (or congestion charge?) then we are not specialists in that area. Pepipoo forum are:
