About this camera

Liverpool City Council lists a CCTV camera on Lime Street bus link, enforcing a no entry restriction (Except local buses). A PCN from it alleges driving past the no entry signs. The council lists this restriction as applying at any time, so the time of day will not help on its own. Check that the no entry signs were in place and visible, and whether an exemption plate (for example cycles) applied. 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 no entry camera

• Were both no entry signs present and visible? Check exemption plates (e.g. "except cycles", hours).

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.
