Hello all, I appear to have also been caught by the infamous Kidbrooke Park Bus Lane, and I'm considering appealing the PCN. From reading this forum and some others, am I right in thinking that the The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (ie the actual statutory requirements) is the lettering for BUS LANE on the road (looks to be insufficient spacing between the lines)? The requirement for a 1:10 ratio taper appears to come from chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual - does this mean it is just for guidance or is it also mandatory? Does anyone have any other thoughts on the best way to challenge this particular bus lane PCN? I would grudgingly pay the fine if I thought that I had done something wrong and been caught, but here (it was at night and in heavy rain) I was in the lane before I knew it, and as someone pointed out above, once in it is tricky to move out because of the pinch point! Also, in practical terms, how do you submit an informal challenge - can this be done by email or must it all be hard copy? Thanks in advance, CPS
