"Transport for London came in for heavily criticism last week after it was revealed a junction at the intersection between Northcote Road and Battersea Rise in Wandsworth has raised over £1,000,000 in traffic fines over the past year. 9,000 drivers were snapped by CCTV cameras when they found themselves stuck in the middle of junction, and were promptly sent a fine for £120. Motorists were further enraged to find out that experts from the Government and TfL were aware that the junction was confusing and likely to catch drivers out. A Department for Transport official signed off permission for the box on the A3 after stating drivers could be “left in a somewhat awkward situation.""
Perhaps some industrious, determined citizen sign-maker can create his own sign and stick it on an existing sign in the dead of night. He might don a TfL workman's attire so as to attract no untoward attention.
It would be interesting, thereafter, to see what TfL do about the new sign. If they remove it and don't replace it with their own, similar sign, then we can be sure that it is merely a revenue raiser.
This would be an excellent stunt, if followed up by a flurry of newspaper articles and youtube videos to show the before/after effect on traffic in the area.
