I have been fined for going through here - I believe it is extremely unclear and have seen many other drivers make the same mistake because of the inadequate signage.

This camera enforced junction is badly signed. There was NO advanced signage that cameras enforce this junction. RBK must be laughing all the way to the bank. Don't start me on that daft cycle lane along the Portsmouth Road ........

This is disgraceful and a money making exercise by the council. There is no way the signs were clear near the restrictions and no way would that many motorists drive through knowunghly to be fined. They should all be refunded

The purpose of a 'trial' should be to test the effectiveness of a new scheme, with proper signage and advance warning before its introduction. Only if the decision is made to make the changes permanent should it be possible to fine motorists who intentionally ignore the restriction. If its success is measured in terms of the amount of money raised, the council is very likely to deem the plan an excellent idea. If this was the original intention it is scandalous, shameful and unfair. All penalties issued should be refunded without delay and the whole project given proper consideration, consultation and publicity.

I think this is outrageous, no pre warnings and immediate fines . The signage is appalling and think this whole affair is despicable.

Although the London tribunal have stated the signage is confusing and inadequate I have been told no PCN's will be refunded.

Never driven on this road before I thought it was a road calming sign as instruction was unclear. Consequently received a £65 fine on 19th Dec.

We are local residents who received 2 penalties notice and since the closure the traffic is horrendous around the school, since they have a huge amount of buses stopping there!

Please refund these unfair fines. At least put clear camera warning signs up if you really want to stop people, and not just to make money. Thank you.
