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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This is correct. 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.

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.

Unless it's changed very recently there's no restriction turning left (or right) at that junction when travelling from that direction on E.Dulwich Road.

I go left there all the time after a Sainsburys visit.


The old Kings on the Rye.


Edit: Unless something temporary was up due to the Rye Lane road works ?

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.

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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
