PCN code 32: failing to proceed in the direction shown by the arrow on a blue sign
What this contravention code means, and how to appeal it · Moving Traffic
Code 32 means the council or TfL recorded your vehicle as failing to proceed in the direction shown by the arrow on a blue sign. Unclear road signage, or a camera that appears to have recorded the wrong moment, are both grounds worth challenging.
Full description on the ticket: “Failing to proceed in the direction shown by the arrow on a blue sign.”
Letter after the code, like 32j?
A letter after the number narrows down the exact circumstances: j means camera (CCTV) enforcement, d means proceeding in the wrong direction, t means turning in the wrong direction. We factor the exact suffix into your letter automatically.
Can I appeal this?
Yes. This is a statutory Penalty Charge Notice from a council or TfL, not a private charge, so you have a formal right to challenge it before it escalates into a Charge Certificate.
