Penalty Charge Notice - Townley Road Junction Calton Avenue Bus Gate

[Tuffstuff100]

I've just been given a penalty charge notice for using a route restricted to certain vehicles on Townley Road Junction Calton Avenue as there's a bus gate. I must have missed this before and indeed I've driven down there many times without having a fine. Has anyone else been hit by this recently? Has this camera just been added and i've been breaking the law all this time?

The prohibition is only at particular times of day.  Could your previous passages have been at other times?  That said, I do recall seeing what I thought was criminal damage to the camera earlier this year.

I'd try appealing, if I were you. I did (after driving down twice!) and was let off the second PCN. There have been so many PCNs issued there, I suspect they know the placement of the sign isn't clear and I suspect they've cancelled quite a lot  issued to drivers for that area.

Does anyone have a picture of the sign?
