TfL Ref: 1380-1920

Thank you for your request received by us on 7 August 2019 asking for information about the number of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued to drivers for contraventions relating to the Rotherhithe Tunnel.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked for the following:

Please list the number of PCNs issued to drivers for failing to heed the Rotherhithe Tunnel restrictions, by height, by width, and by weight, per day during the whole month of July 2019.

Any vehicle which is registered with the DVLA as being more than two metres (6'6") high and two metres (6'6") wide or goods vehicles weighing more than two tonnes (gross vehicle weight) are not safe to travel through the Rotherhithe Tunnel; we do not differentiate between vehicles i.e. Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and Low Goods Vehicles (LGVs).

Please see the table below for the amount of PCNs we issued to drivers whose vehicles were observed by our cameras on the northbound and southbound Rotherhithe Tunnel approaches which exceeded the width and/or weight restriction for each day in July 2019.
