38jl failure to pass to specified side of sign - Islington P

[1Rb]

I've received a penalty notice for the above code relating to a Ockendon Rd in Islington:



From a Google search I note that the central area was previously a raised island and that this has now been removed and instead there are really feint/worn road markings, as per the image.

Is this worth contesting?

Thanks for the replies.

It just seemed like a bit of a squeeze so did what I considered at the time to be the logical thing to do.

The £millions these cameras in this one borough amass is a bit of an eye opener:

If the faded central markings won't stand up as a defence I'll just pay it as I can't see any alternative.

The road markings and signs make it clear the middle is not to be used so can't see what you cant fight.

Slightly confusing message but I think I know what you mean.

The road markings are not clear, which I thought could act as a potential defence but I'm not sure whether there is any such precedence.

I'm not talking about the centre lines that are faded which to be honest may even be from when it was an island.

I'm talking about the white lines and hatched markings that take you to the correct side of the width restriction they're clear as day on the photo.

I can see this as fairly incontrovertible, so will chalk up. Thanks all.
