"The adjudicator agreed that key signage displaying the restrictions was not prominently displayed, with one sign obscured by tree foliage and another positioned too far from a driver's natural line of sight."
"The most important sign, on the left-hand side of the road, only became visible as drivers approached a bend, by which point they were already close to the restricted area."
"Warning signs indicating a no through road did not adequately alert oncoming motorists to the specific restriction in place."
Rev Ratcliff contested a £160 penalty charge for driving through a Low Traffic Neighbourhood, claiming the signage was obscured by tree branches. An adjudicator agreed, stating that key signs were inadequately displayed and not visible in time for drivers. The ruling led to the cancellation of the penalty. Merton Council later sought a review, arguing that Rev Ratcliff was aware of the restriction. The case highlights issues with LTN signage and its impact on motorists.
