Barnet - what price for correct signage?

 


Mr Mustard noticed an error when out and about in the borough, in Netherlands Rd, the bus only route through the middle of the road which is covered by a cctv camera which is very fond of sending out PCNs for £130.

There used to be a barrier which lifted into the air but it kept being broken (possibly deliberately) and parts had to come from abroad which entailed delays so this way the council make a profit rather than having a cost at this location. You have to be pretty negligent to drive your car through the wrong section. The blue arrow should not be there.

Mr Mustard emailed the Highways team


The reply surprised Mr Mustard


The reason for the surprise is the absolute duty on a traffic authority, such as Barnet Council, to erect traffic signs which correctly reflect Traffic Orders. It isn't an option to decide whether or not to erect correct signs, as this law states


Now tell Mr Mustard that Barnet Council don't put money above all other considerations?

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard
