About this camera
Southwark Council lists a CCTV camera on Lordship Lane at its junction with Overhill Road, enforcing a bus lane restriction. A PCN from it alleges driving in the bus lane while it is in operation. The council lists the restriction as applying Monday to Sunday, 7am to 7pm; outside those hours it does not apply, so check the time printed on your PCN. Compare the time on the PCN with the hours above, and check that the start of the lane was signed and marked. 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.
Common grounds at a bus lane camera
- Check the hours of operation on the blue sign; many lanes are part-time.
- Entering briefly to turn left into a side road or to pass an obstruction may be allowed; check the sign and markings.
- Was the start of the lane marked with the correct sign and road marking?
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.
