We got a 'warning' for an alleged contravention in Adys Road junction East Dulwich Road. Our vehicle has just left the area where the attached picture was taken. Anyone know what the contravention might have been? The video link we were sent shows our car and may others passing here.

I don't know. Do you?

No - all I can see in the photo is a motorbike and car inside a red circle i.e. "No Motor Vehicles". I can't read the text in the photo.

I got caught in a CPZ a couple of times - not in London.  The penalty notice if paid within two weeks was fairly reasonable, but on one occasion there was no ticket.  I explained to the local authority that I would have paid quickly (as I always do) and whilst they had photographic proof that the notice was served, they kindly reduced the fine by 50%

I'm only posting positive comments on the forum from now on.

Warnings were sent from 17 April to 9 May. Penalty Charge Notices are now being issued. 

This one on Adys Road is particularly bad as there are no advance warning notices & by the time you see this notice you have no way to avoid going into the closure zone other than reversing down Adys Road!

(Operational Mon-Fri 8:39-9:15 & 15:00-15:45)

I have just received a ticket on Adys rd. the offence says failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicles. This is beyond a joke. I didn’t even notice a sign stating about a prohibition. I’m more concerned with keeping an eye out for any parents and children that may be crossing the road. Absolutely going to appeal.

Exactly. When I am driving along streets with cars parked either side and lots of people around, my focus is quite short, looking out for dangers in the immediate area rather than looking up at roadside signage etc. I would have been caught out by similar near Ivydale school had I not recently been leafleted about the change from them using physical barriers in school hours to using cameras- the new sign at the roadside was unobtrusive. If they are going to do this there ought to be road markings too.

You will be pleased to know that there is detailed government guidance on road signage, I've only flicked through but Nicola and radiant I suggest that you have a read.

I am happy in looking at higher level road signs and I am an excellent, courteous and safe driver and cyclist.

I've had a few penalties in the past, in recent years more often than not for misinterpreting signage, which is my own fault.  In the past it would be through willfully ignoring it and/or taking a risk.  I've learned 😀

If the signage does not meet national guidance then of course write to your Councillor and if still unhappy a formal complaint.

If signage does meet national guidance then you will need to raise your issues with the government, I always do this through my MP.

I just got a contravention, £65, then £130, etc…

I drove there on 23rd June and didn’t take any notice to the new very white signs, was wondering why not using red as in Dulwhich Village, which are very visible.

Red is to attract the attention of drivers, white is to get happily unnoticed, in my view. Cheeky cheeky council.

I can agree in principle to protect kids, that is fine, but the way it’s communicated, that is wrong.

I might challenge this, anyone has already? 

This one feels I was genuinely unaware, I did this road thousands of times before.

 

The sign has a red outline “prohibition” circle with a car and a motorcycle in it, plus timing information. I believe the village has a solid blue “mandatory instruction” circle showing only busses are permitted. Different signs for different purposes. 
 

I don’t understand this mindset from some posters that council staff are thinking “we’re going to claim to put in place a scheme make it less likely that school children are run over but secretly we want people to ignore our signs and drive through anyway so we can fine them instead”! They could have implemented a full closure like outside Bellenden Road Primary School  (at the end of Nutbrook) and then we’d have a forum full of “why can’t we have camera controls” like we do about the closures in Dulwich Village!

If the fine is for driving south on Adys Road check the photo. The sign on the left Hand side of the road has been removed for a week or so now. Also there is often a large white van parked blocking the view of the sign.
 

I have no problem with making the streets around schools safer. Adys Road at school times was bad, mainly made dangerous by the parents dropping off their children. But these signs are poorly placed.

Yes I got caught too, had no idea about this new restriction! there don't seem to be any advance warnings either which I've seen in other locations. I was heading South down Adys Road and just didn't see the sign at all. I don't think there's much point in appealing but I will raise the issue of poor signage.

If you turn left out of Muschamp onto Ondine you will be fined but you can turn right onto Ondine. What does the photo show? Contest it.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
