matthew123 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I have had a penalty notice for taking a left turn off East Dulwich Road onto Peckham Rye.. anyone received one of these for this particular junction? I have taken a left turn at that spot hundreds of times in the past. In the penalty notice it says I did not follow the arrow on a blue sign which I do not recall ever being.. obviously I know you cannot take a right turn onto Peckham Rye but this is news to me not being able to take a left turn.

Blah Blah Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Must be a mistake. Left turn is allowed off East Dulwich Road at that junction, in both directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew123 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 No not bus lane. It was penalty from Southwark council for taking left turn. They attached the photo from a roadside camera of me taking left hand turn at that junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Or is the arrow being referred to the sign at the top of Peckham Rye saying left for East Dulwich/Nunhead and right for Forest Hill/Dulwich and the OP went left for Forest Hill.Surely not - that would mean being fined for a Layer 3 routing issue as network guys would say.

Sue Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 This just says "banned right turn" for East Dulwich Road/Peckham Rye:https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/traffic-safety-camerasBut "Peckham Rye & East Dulwich Road" is both left and right turns banned.

dresswaves Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 That doesn't make sense. The only banned left turn is travelling south on Peckham Rye, you can't turn left towards Nunhead. And that's a red no left turn sign & road markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 This has me concerned that I could be fined for what has up to now seemed a perfectly legitimate and legal turn ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianr Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 See the (Prescribed Routes) (Various Streets) (No. 4) Traffic Order 2011, that's downloadable from the Southwark favourite TMOs page https://www.southwark.gov.uk/transport-and-roads/roadworks-and-highway-improvements/traffic-management-orders?chapter=4, for the authoritative specification.East Dulwich Road & Peckham Rye (western arm):8.1 Every person causing any vehicle to proceed in a southbound direction in that length of Peckham Rye (the western arm) which lies north of its junction with East Dulwich Road shall, upon reaching its junction with East Dulwich Road, cause that vehicle to proceed ahead into that length of Peckham Rye (the western arm) which lies south of its junction with East Dulwich Road.8.2 No person causing any vehicle to proceed in a northbound direction in Peckham Rye (the western arm) shall, upon reaching its junction with East Dulwich Road, cause that vehicle to turn right into East Dulwich Road.8.3 No person causing any vehicle to proceed in a westbound direction in East Dulwich Road shall, upon reaching its junction with Peckham Rye (the western arm), cause that vehicle to turn right into Peckham Rye (the western arm).8.4 Nothing in Article 8.3 preceding shall apply to a bus or a pedal cycle.That doesn't preclude there being an additional one, though I'd expect any that there was to have also been included in the same page.

seenbeen Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 There's a mistake somewhere because you can turn left into Peckham Rye from E.Dulwich Road- I've had a good look on Google Street view and the arrows are painted on the road (because I do that journey fairly frequently.) All of ianr's list have been in place for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Eva Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Is there a photo attached? That is meant to be the proof that you did it. If there is no photo or no signs then take some photos yourself showing that what you did is permitted and appeal within the time limit. Be careful because the grounds for appeal are limited to relevant matters -- things like "I've done this for years" etc would not be grounds for appeal but if there are poorly sited signs (or no signs) or the photo does not show that you did anything wrong then you can appeal. It's possible that this has always been banned and the camera has only just been installed. It's also possible that it's not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use that junction every day and this is the only place to my knowledge that such a ticket would be issued. But the OP was not on PR, not traveling south, not turning left toward Nunhead.So it makes no sense. They have made a mistake. Appeal it. It would only take a 5 min movie clip of the junction to show you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 According to the signpost as you come south from Peckham, after taking the left fork where the 343/78/P12s go, and Peckham Rye Park is in front of you at the lights, where you can turn left for Nunhead and Right (where the 37 goes) for East Dulwich - according to the signpost there IS NO road straight ahead (to Brockley/Honor Oak Crematorium). Only left or right. However, I can not quite make out where the OP was describing. Certainly it is badly signposted around all those junctions, but clearly signposted that when travelling south towards Peckham Rye where you've taken the right fork (where the 63/363/12/197 go) that you can only go straight ahead towards Forest Hill Road, and not left or right.

Have there been any> successful challenges?By "opposite the station" do you mean on Champion Park? If so, the signs are there. Mostly around there I think bus lanes are 7am-7pm Monday to Sunday, perhaps partly due to the proximity of the hospital. I don't know the road on Denmark Hill itself though.

sunbob Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The no 37 bus turns left there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamRose Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Which begs the questions: 1) Were you speeding 2) Did you go on the red light? Either way Appeal and show them the photo from the location. Let us know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah Blah Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 He seems quite clear it was for making a left turn, but yes, let us know what happens. A left turn there is allowed and always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponderwoman Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 If you go futher up the road on your Google link view you can see the road clearly marked with the straight on and left arrows on the inside lane and the right turn arrows in the outer lane. If you were in the outer lane and turned left that would probably result in a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
