Challange a PCN for worng left turn

Mrpizza77

Hi everyone,

I have recently received a PCN for turning left in a road where the left turn was apparently prohibited. 
You can see the evidences they provided below:



Notice that the road where I turned was a two-way road.
I have challenged this PCN on the ground that when a turn is enforced, only horizonthal signs are not enough, and also a vertical sign should be provided (either a blue sign wih a white right arrow) or a "no turn left" red border circle sign (this is from what I remember and also chatgpt seems to agree). From neither the two pictures the council provided, nor from the video, I can see such a vertical sign.
Moreover the right horizonthal sign is warned out, and even if it can be clearly seen from the position where the camera is, from inside the car, I don't think was not very visible in a sunny day. 

The borough rejected my appeal, but I am thinking to appeal to the traffic adjudicators. I still have the chance to pay the 50% PCN, but in  this case I really think this PCN was not rightful given.

Thanks everyone

I suggest that you take your council pcn query over to the FTLA parking forum website after reading their posting requirements first,  they deal with non private matters

Were you totally oblivious to the road markings ?

There appears to be a roadsign on the corner of the road which (from the angle of the camera) is obscured by a tree. I would expect that to be a "no left turn" sign. 

Before you go any further, it would be worth viewing your route from ground level on Google Street View - that will probably save you from attempting a defence that can easily be refuted with just a few ground-level photographs.

And if you do they are going to want to know exactly where this is, which you seem reluctant to tell us having blanked out the road name.
