days before his hated \u00a312.50-a-day green tax rolls out across London<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the Telegraph, Mr Freeman explained that this has the potential to create very real issues for London Mayor Sadiq Khan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He explained: &#8216;Any road traffic regulations that are introduced, there must be clear, unambiguous signage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And in the absence of clear, unambiguous signage, no penalty can be enforced. The prosecutors would, I&#8217;m quite confident, win on appeal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This happens in speeding cases, you get it in bus lane cases, there are a whole host of cases where the signage isn&#8217;t clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And then when somebody wants to challenge it, they invariably win because the signage doesn&#8217;t doesn&#8217;t fit the bill.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>This quandary was also identified by\u00a0Edmund King, the president of the Automobile Association, who suggested that TfL could be swamped with driver complaints.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He told the newspaper: &#8216;If TfL does not send out warnings they will be deluged with complaints from drivers. If they turn down appeals to have fines cancelled, huge numbers will take their complaints to the traffic penalties tribunal.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>A TfL spokesman said: &#8216;All the signs needed for the enforcement of the scheme will be in place and the boundaries clearly signposted for residents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The signage and level of information in the public domain means we expect drivers to be aware of the standards and the boundary. This means all non-compliant drivers are liable for the charge and if they fail to pay it within the appropriate amount of time, they will face a penalty charge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;National Highways, which manages the busiest roads into the capital, have worked with us to ensure drivers have advance warning of the expanded Ulez, and we have run a major communications campaign to make sure as many people are aware of the scheme as possible.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12452501\/Khan-stop-Anti-Ulez-protesters-park-campaigning-caravan-near-Mayor-London-Sadiqs-house-urging-end-hated-road-charge.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;No To Ulez&#8217;
