Advice needed to contest a penalty notice

Hello,

I have done a bit of research and found that people have sucessfully won their case against the local council, but I noticed that the wording on the penalty charge notice of these winning cases was slightly different than mine, if anyone could advise if there is a suitable template I could use to contest the penality notice would be very much appreciated.

My penalty is for: 52J Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicles (Parsons Mead, Croydon)

The issue is when you drive onto the road/enter the road in question there are no signs, in fact its a very long straight road and its only when you have driven two thirds of the length of the road that the signs have been placed (I now know this as I looked online). I clearly missed the signs (they were only put up in January of this year), having driven on this road for the last ten years without issue, I was clearly on auto pilot. What I am afraid of is that I have driven on this same road on one more occassion thereafter, so no doubt this will result in a second penalty notice coming through the post in a few days time.
I'd be grateful for any assistance
Thank you
