About this camera
Liverpool City Council lists a CCTV camera on Copperas Hill at its junction with Ranelagh Place, enforcing a mandatory directional arrows restriction (Left turn only). A PCN from it alleges not following the compulsory direction sign (left turn only). The council lists this restriction as applying at any time, so the time of day will not help on its own. Check the sign as it appeared on the day against the footage, including the hours and any exemption plate. When you log in to pay or challenge, Liverpool shows the photographic evidence. Liverpool says that for six months after each camera is activated, first-time offenders get a warning letter rather than a PCN. Appeals go to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
First-time warning
We have not confirmed when enforcement started here. If it began within the last 6 months and this was your first time, a warning notice should have been sent instead (outside London). How the warning rule works.
Common grounds at a moving traffic restriction camera
- Was the blue arrow sign visible in time? Was there an exemption plate (e.g. "except buses")?
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.
