Bus Lane - requirements

[whu1]

I have received a bus lane penalty charge from Lambeth, stating that I was in the bus lane on a Saturday at 17.56.

 

Obviously normally bus lanes are for weekdays and or rush hour times.

 

I was in a area not familiar to me, but there were no signs indicating this was a 24/7 bus lane.

 

The picture has the correct time,date and some other stuff/code underneath.

 

What my query is what is required by them to inform motorists that this was a 24/7 bus lane

 

Any thoughts most welcomed on what is required.

The signage will provide the key as to whether the lane is full or part time. I do recall that if NO times/days are displayed, the lane is enforced 24/7. That said, I've no knowledge of the area you were caught in, perhaps someone more local will advise...

Any traffic sign with no time indicates it is a 24hr restriction.

unless the sign is the wrong sign according to the Traffic order.

How to appeal unfair bus lane tickets take a look here, maybe posting up photo's of the bus lane would help.

 

 

Write to Julius Joseph or Leo Ward at Lambeth Parking Services if you believe you have a case, this bypasses the muppets in the back office who cant be bothered to consider your informal appeals. (espeacialy on friday which is poets day)

Does it matter that the picture in my penalty notice charge is very bad and you cannot see the registration at all. How do I know this is my car for a start anyway???

Just looked at their website for more pics, and it looks like my car. Seems I turned right just before I should of done at the traffic lights (following the car in front no doubt:-x). Looks like they have got me, it was only because I don't know the area well.

 

What a bummer. still appeal though, give me time to find the dosh.

Hi

 

not the OP but is is the Clapham Park Road area ( I live tound the corner )

[Madamfluff]

Not a Driver myself but there is a sign just before you go down that bit ( shown in photo) where is says buses and cycle only I have never seen a car using that lane on week days or weekends and I remember it being 'built' as a buslane because of the traffic build up all the way from Acre Lane down ( the cars have to go round to the right)

Yes it is the exact one

[nero12]

Yes it is the exact one

From memory there is a sign missing at the start of this bus lane, there shoud be a sign at the start of the taper and one where the taper finishes and the lane starts.the one at the end of the taper is missing or was LOL

There is also a bit of confusion at a set of lights further up the road where there is a left turn sign??

 

what we need is a side on photo of the bus lane taper where there is only one sign(unless they have rectified this) and a head on view of the start of the taper, it seems too short for the speed of the lane should be 15m's I think

 

There are also a few minor problems with the ticket. scan this in without the personal stuff so we can check.

[whu1]

Here is the ticket...

Here is the ticket...

Whether it is wrong or not it still indicates a 24 hr restriction.
