About this camera
Southwark Council lists a CCTV camera on Burbage Road at its junction with Gallery Road (northbound), enforcing a restricted route restriction (Buses, taxis and cycles only). A PCN from it alleges using a route restricted to buses, taxis and cycles. The council lists the restriction as applying Monday to Friday, 8am to 9am and 3pm to 4.30pm; outside those hours it does not apply, so check the time printed on your PCN. Check that the signs on the approach made the restriction clear in time to choose another route, and whether your vehicle is one the sign allows. Southwark reviews every camera contravention by a CCTV officer before issuing the PCN, which is posted to the registered keeper. Southwark says it issues warning notices for the first 2 weeks after it puts up a new camera. Appeals go to London Tribunals.
First-time warning
London councils are not expected to send first-time warnings for this kind of contravention.
Common grounds at a bus gate camera
- Bus gates are often missed because the signs are small or come too late to turn away; check whether there was an advance warning sign.
- Check the hours on the sign: many bus gates only apply at peak times.
- 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. You can ask the council to let you view the recording, or send stills, free of charge.
Paying within 14 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.
