Or perhaps the signs are simply not obvious enough as thousands of people have already stated the same. Thanks for the driving tips though.

Thousands of people claim not to have seen speed limit signs, or red lights. It doesn't help them.

Suggest you google ULEZ signs and look at the images.......then tell us they're not obvious.

TfL must be having a quiet day with all its staff on here at the moment. :rotfl:

Typical petulant child attitude of new posters around here. Don't like they answers they get even when they're the correct ones so start with the name calling.

Pathetic.

The signs are not obvious, we re traced our route last week, there are two small signs, they do not give full info.

And no, I didn’t check google, or Wikipedia, or NASA or with MI5 or TFL before that journey as on previous times in a different but also road tax exempt car it had never been an issue that we had a noticed or considered as we don’t drive in to London that often.

And yes thank you I can identify safety related traffic signs, traffic lights etc.

If It’s not just a money maker then yes, I agree with a post previous, a letter of notice would be a way of advising the Need to pay but appreciate that is also costly to tfl and of course would prevent them from preying on people they slap PCN on for a first time, one off misdemeanour.

Maybe next time someone runs over and kills a drunk pedestrian that’s stumbled into the road, or a death defying cyclist they can claim the defence of “sorry, I was too busy looking out for a ULEZ sign”

Who has called any one names. ?

If you have nothing productive to say then move on.

Well signposted , approach road from M25 to blackwall tunnel has multiple BIG clear signs warning of the zone and telling you to divert to avoid at the black prince turn off. Same on ALL approach road to the zone. From memory there are many signs on the approach from kent

These signs are also well lit up at night.

Putting your reg number into the ULEZ site gives a clear "yes you pay" or " you are exempt " (I've used it )

And it's your responsibility to get that further information rather than just driving by and assuming they don't apply to you.

So you've passed those signs before. Although this was the first time you were in a vehicle that generated a penalty, it wasn't the first time you'd driven into the ULEZ. Even more reason to wonder what the signs were about and look into it before going in the next time.

And yes thank you I can identify safety related traffic signs, traffic lights etc.

How do you know which are safety related and which aren't, if by your own admission you didn't know what the ULEZ signs were?

If It’s not just a money make then yes, I agree with a post previous, a letter of notice would be a way of advising the Ned to pay but appreciate that is also costly to tfl and of course would prevent them from preying on people they slap PCN on for a first time, one off misdemeanour.

See above. It wasn't your first time driving into the zone. How many second chances do you want?

Maybe next time someone runs over and kills a drunk pedestrian that’s stumbled into the road, or a death defying cyclist they can claim the defence of “sorry, I was too busy looking out for a ULEZ sign”

Now you're being ridiculous. It's your responsibility to drive safely AND heed all applicable road signs. If you can't manage both simultaneously, you should question whether city driving is a good idea and whether public transport may be a viable (and possibly cheaper) alternative.

Signs yes.

Obvious on all occasions on all routes. NO.
