Quick answer

A moving traffic penalty charge notice from Transport for London is issued by CCTV camera for offences such as driving through a box junction when the exit is not clear, making a banned turn, entering a one-way street, or passing through a no-entry zone. Transport for London (TfL) must display TSRGD-compliant signage at every moving traffic enforcement location. Parking Mate AI checks signage, camera evidence, and procedural compliance to identify defects that could support your appeal.

What is a Transport for London moving traffic PCN?

A moving traffic PCN from Transport for London is a penalty charge notice for a driving contravention as opposed to a parking contravention. Common moving traffic offences include box junction violations, banned turns, one-way street offences, and no-entry contraventions.

These PCNs are enforced by CCTV camera. Transport for London (TfL) must have proper authorisation for camera enforcement at each location, and the signage must comply with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD).

TSRGD compliance is one of the most common grounds for successful challenge. Every moving traffic restriction requires specific signs and road markings. If these are missing, obscured, or do not match the prescribed TSRGD diagrams, the restriction may be unenforceable.

Parking Mate AI checks your Transport for London moving traffic PCN against TSRGD requirements, camera evidence standards, and service timelines. If defects are found, you receive a professional appeal letter for formal representations to Transport for London (TfL) or appeal to London Tribunals.

Common Transport for London moving traffic PCN defects

TSRGD signage non-compliance

Every Transport for London moving traffic restriction requires specific TSRGD-prescribed signs. Missing, incorrect, or non-compliant signage can render the restriction unenforceable.

Camera evidence defects

CCTV evidence must clearly show the vehicle committing the alleged contravention. Unclear images, incorrect timestamps, and ambiguous footage are common defects.

Box junction right-turn exemption

You are allowed to enter a box junction to turn right if your exit is blocked only by oncoming traffic. This is a common and frequently successful ground for challenge.

Road marking defects

Moving traffic restrictions require correct road markings in addition to signs. Faded, missing, or incorrectly applied markings can support a challenge.

Incorrect contravention code

The contravention code on your Transport for London moving traffic PCN must accurately describe the alleged offence. A mismatch is a procedural defect.
