Damn sorry to hear that dude, hope you guys aren't doing too bad <3
Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

In this case I have less sympathy as it is fairly well signed by the looks of it, but I think people underestimate how easy it is sometimes to miss even glaring signs if you are driving in an area you are unfamiliar with, especially if you take a wrong turn or something and panicking a bit.
Though my sister got done once doing a U turn right under a large sign saying no U turns, while on her phone, eating a sandwich and right in front of a cop car... and still managed to twist the cop around her finger a bit by the sounds of it as they could have got her much worse than they did. No sympathy from me.

Yeah it's completely my mistake, but as you say, if you've never driven somewhere before sometimes it can be a bit bewildering!
Google maps and Waze do. They know the correct entry points and will take you right to the doorstep, including walking up the garden path.
Apple maps is pretty flakey with this stuff. The built-in systems are never very accurate either. I especially wouldn't trust a Tesla to make the right call, their software is Bethesda grade glitchy

Yeah it's weird, I was using Google Maps so I was also surprised that I was sent down there.
little solace, but seems you could report the error to google
Google Maps Directed me through a restricted road and I have received a penalty charge notice

Can't rely on it though. Google Maps will happily tell you to take a road near me that is buses only between certain hours, during those hours, with no warning.

If you have never driven an area before it makes sense to be more careful in checking for cameras and road restrictions.
Also drive a little slower in order to improve the chances of observing signs rather than whizzing past them.
Again, no sympathy, still bleating like a lamb, pay the fine before it doubles and stop whingeing.
Do one!

Yup. I concluded that in the thread had you read it
If Waze would have excluded the route, albeit also owned by google , compare to native google, then I'd be sold, for the Met badlands or unfamiliar/foreign terrain - Wales, France ....
equally a plus for a car with that traffic sign recognition/ADAS

Just authorise yourself, it would be just as effective
I have a congestion / emissions charge pending from Bologna back in October where we missed the TRAFFIC LIMITADO sign following Google Maps

As a country boy I'm completely baffled at a road being restricted during certain hours. Are you supposed to enter the area from somewhere else? Also, would they have to manually review every car from the footage? Seems like a job worse than that of a parking warden. Seems like a lot of costly infrastructure for a couple of left turns.
You do get them in rural villages as well. But people ignore them as there are no cameras.
This stuff plagues some cities though. The road network in them has clearly been rigged to generate revenue from fines for the local councils.

You have to be on your toes in London. There are loads of bus lanes, 20 mph almost everywhere but then it's sometimes 30 mph, and apparently lots of restrictions!
