Contravening a Traffic Sign and the Law

Under Section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is an offence for a driver to fail to comply with the indication given by an authorised traffic sign. These include stop signs, one-way systems, no entry symbols, and temporary restriction signage enforced by police or local authorities.

  • Ignoring a “no entry”, “stop” or “give way” sign.
  • Driving in a bus lane or restricted zone.
  • Failing to follow temporary diversion or control signals..

  • Was driving a vehicle on a public road.
  • Failed to comply with a prescribed traffic sign lawfully placed.
  • Did so without lawful excuse or valid exemption.

Cases may involve the CPS, local authorities, police traffic units or camera enforcement teams. Evidence can include ANPR footage, witness statements, camera records, calibration certificates, maintenance logs and signage evidence. 

A conviction can carry penalty points and a fine, with higher penalties for some motorway offences. Our Contravening a Traffic Sign Solicitors review the evidence, signage, procedure and any available defence.
