52M - Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle
The streets restricted to vehicles between stated hours can be found on our School enforcement page.
Only pedestrians, cycles and permit holders are permitted to enter these streets during restricted hours and a vehicle does not have to stop or park to be in contravention of the restriction as it is a driving contravention, which is clearly explained on two upright signs where the restriction starts.
You are liable for the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
If you pay your PCN within 21 days of the date of your ticket, you pay the lower amount shown on your ticket or letter. If you pay after 21 days, you pay the original penalty charge on the notice.

Motorists have the responsibility to follow the Highway Code and should rely upon the signage at the roadside and road markings to aid their decisions when driving.
Where restrictions are in force, the restrictions are always clearly marked for the safety of all road users. Signs are located at the entrance of each zone to alert drivers of the restriction.
If you believe that signage is not in place in the location, please provide photographic evidence with your representations with an explanation as to why you did not see the signs in place.
