Terrible "No entry" sign at the bottom of Rye Lane,

[duncan russell]

Can anyone help me contest a charge for accidentally going through a 'no entry' sign on Rye Lane? I was in the area last week and recently got a ?50 fine,ignoring this seemingly invisible sign. I don't live in the area but according to my friend, a member of this forum, the sign is notorious for being hard to spot and confusing when you do see it. Is anyone aware of this sign being difficult to see? I need evidence to back up my claim and get the sign changed/improved.

Thanks in advance,

Duncan. Lordship Lane worshiper from afar.

Thanks Mark,

It may indeed. I'm going to cut and paste this stuff into my letter, without the swearing.

Cheers, Duncan.

ha ha you too eh?? we had exactly this the other week. I am pathetically obedient when it comes to bus lanes/parking/no entries etc so I too was aghast when I got the letter. I phoned the council to find out what I had done (thinkng it was the top of rye lane like someone else on the rye lane thread) There is indeed a no entry sign, rather small, by heaton road. Fair do's, its there and I didn't spot it. But then, why would you as there is no reason to assume you can;t since one can join the bottom of rye lane by heaton road, but you can't go thro that particular junction. I just put it down to 'you live and learn'..

Glad I found this thread - we got done last week on this and couldn't figure out why!
