About this camera
Bristol City Council lists a CCTV camera on Anton Bantock Way at its junction with Queens Road, enforcing a banned turn restriction (Turning restrictions). A PCN from it alleges making a banned turn. The council's list does not give the hours, so check the times on the signs and in the footage. Check that the banned-turn sign was visible on the approach and whether any exemption plate applied. Bristol's online case viewer shows the case details and, where available, photographs. Bristol says a first-time moving traffic offence at a new location gets a warning notice for the first 6 months of operation. Bristol lists this site as older than 6 months and subject to full enforcement, so the first-time warning period has passed. Appeals go to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
First-time warning
The 6-month first-time warning period for this camera has ended, so a first contravention now gets a PCN.
Common grounds at a banned turn camera
- Was the banned-turn sign at the junction and visible on approach?
- Check any exemption plate and its hours.
- Outside London: first time at a camera in its first 6 months should get a warning.
Camera PCNs must normally be served within 28 days of the date, unless the DVLA was slow to supply your details. You can ask the council to let you view the recording, or send stills, free of charge (reg 3(3)).
Paying within 21 days gets the 50% discount. Challenging first does not stop you paying later, but the discount may not be offered again once it expires, so note the date.
