00:00 On the Rundle Gate the Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator has ruled that this sign is obscured
00:05 by a post in front of it. It was also too close to the bus gate and it is contradicted by the
00:13 no U-turn sign that is behind it. For this reason the adjudicator cancelled the ticket
00:20 of Mark Fleming. Mark Fleming says that that means that all 39,000 tickets that were issued
00:29 until October 3rd should also be cancelled. The council installed these four huge red
00:37 bus gate enforcement warning signs on October 3rd to try to give drivers more warning.
00:43 The problem is that two of them today are lying flat in the road.

01:03 In the last few minutes I've seen several cars go through the bus gate on the Rundle Gate
01:06 which means that in combination with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator's decision and the
01:15 apparently inadequate signage Sheffield City Council has a problem.
